Acts 19:18-20 Many of the believers also came confessing their sins and describing what they had previously done.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Many of the believers also came confessing their sins and describing what they had [previously] done. ¹⁹ And a large number of them, who had been involved in occultic practices, brought their books [on the occult] and began burning them publicly. When they calculated the cost [of the books] it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. [Note: The actual amount was approximately 150 years of a farm laborer's pay, or more than 3 million dollars in 1994]. ²⁰ So, the message of the Lord spread widely and had a great influence [over people].
