Acts 19:20 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 19:20

18 And many who had believed came ^aconfessing and telling their deeds.

19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.

20 ^aSo the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.

The Riot at Ephesus

21 ^aWhen these things were accomplished, Paul ^bpurposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through ^cMacedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, ^dI must also see Rome.”

22 So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, ^aTimothy and ^bErastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.
