He took his disciples and continue to preach in the hall of Tyrannus for 2 years. God gave him miraculous power to cure the sick and to cast out evil spirits. Many sorcerers confessed their evil deeds and come to repentance.
In Ephesus, a silversmith named Demetrius who had lost his business because the people no longer was buying his man-made gods. He called together people with related trade to convince the people that Paul was discrediting Artemis, their great goddess. As a result, the city was in an uproar.
