And fear fell upon them all, and kthe name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. 18Also many of those who were now believers came, lconfessing and divulging their practices. 19And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20So the word of the Lord mcontinued to increase and prevail mightily.
