BIBLE STUDY PROJECT: INTERPRETATION
Passage: Acts 19:11-22
A. Summarize: Determine the author’s main point and explain what you think the author is trying to communicate in this passage.
Summary-
Acts 19:11-22 passages are a powerful reminder of God’s almighty, and his powers he has given Paul to perform unusual miracles. Paul’s journey began in Asia where God blessed him with healing powers to heal the people who were consumed by the evil spirits with a touch from a handkerchief or piece of fabric that Paul touched. This passage summarizes God's connection not only to the spiritual world but also to the physical world. (75 Words)
Anyhow, Acts 19:11-22 pinpoints the importance of God's power and those who aren't true followers or believers; who are tempted to use the powers God gave Paul will always be unsuccessful. This event is a reminder to those who have faith in God and willingly surrender to his will then those powers will be available to them. In conclusion, God's power cannot be manipulated or controlled by humans as it is a manifestation of His divine will and purpose. (80 words)
B. Identify: Based on your answer above, write out one principle from this passage. What is
the one thing the whole thing is saying?
Identify-
Acts 19:11-22 provides an extraordinary example of God's power he blessed Paul with. In Acts 19:11-22, we see that God's power is miraculous, that handkerchiefs and other fabrics that have touched Paul's skin healed the sick and drove out the evil spirits who once demonized the people of Ephesus. (51 words)
Ultimately, the New International Version of the Bible reveals the hearts of unfaithful
people who try to use the name of the Lord Jesus for selfish acts and ultimately get hurt. We are reminded not to underestimate these miraculous powers and to acknowledge God’s authority. (45 words)
C: Check: Consult at least one scholarly resource to offer support for the theological principle that you believe the passage is teaching. In 1-2 paragraphs (200-400 words),quote, properly cite, and interact with this scholarly resource to demonstrate that it supports your theological and interpretive conclusion.

BIBLE104
The theological principle of God's creative power is a widespread concept in Christian theology, which is rooted in the scriptures and verses. The Bible teaches that God is the highest authority, whose power is created and sustains all things. In Genesis, we read that "God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing" (Genesis 1:1 NIV), and in multiple sections of the Bible, we see evidence of His influence over his people. (74 words)
In conclusion, seeing the ultimate power the miraculous powers Paul was blessed with has on the people of Ephesus making them openly confess and turning away from practicing magic. This openly aligns with the theological of self-condemnation and conversion. Paul's journey in Ephesus, serves as a powerful picture of how encountering the name of Lord Jesus can lead to major life changes. Stating in Zondervan's handbook to the Bible says “If Paul could win the people of Ephesus to the Christian faith the news would spread through the whole province of Asia.” This meant that Christianity would spread more widely throughout the world.
