Acts of the Apostles

1. Multiple choice: What two men who were helping Paul in Ephesus did he send on to Macedonia while Paul  himself stayed  behind? (a) Timothy and Titus; (b) Timothy and Erastus; or (c) Timothy and Josephus.

2. Who was the silversmith at Ephesus who tried to turn all the people against Paul? (a) Alexander; (b) Demetrius; or (c) Aristarchus.

3. In the mist of the uproar in Ephesus, which Demetrius the silversmith had started, a Jew was put forward to try to explain what was happening. What was his name? (a) Joseph; (b) Alexander; or
(c) Abraham.

 
1. (b) Timothy and Erastus (Acts 19:21,22).
 
 
2. (b) Demetrius  (Acts 19:23-27). Demetrius made his living by making silver shrines of  Diana (v.24). As people came to Christ they quit buying shrines  and ruined the silversmith's business.
 
 
3. (b) Alexander (Acts 19: 32,33). This  may be the same Alexander that  did Paul much harm when he was in Ephesus (2 Tim. 4:14).
