Today's Bible verse is Acts 19:17 from the King James Version.

Episode 235: From Corinth, Paul and his team journeyed to Ephesus. As he entered the city he found some disciples of Jesus and taught them about The Holy Spirit, Baptism, and the mission of Jesus. Paul and these twelve men worked and taught in the city for two years and God did wonderful miracles through Paul. But when some Jewish exorcists tried to copy Paul, they were stripped, beaten, and cast out by the demon-possessed man. After this, a great number of people in Ephesus surrendered their hearts to God and burned their idols and books of sorcery. But the merchants of the city were not happy about this.
