¹⁹ ·Some [or A significant number] of them who had ·used magic [practiced sorcery/witchcraft] brought their magic ·books [or scrolls] and burned them before everyone. Those books were worth about fifty thousand silver coins [^Cprobably drachmas, each worth a day’s wages].

²⁰ ·So in a powerful way [^LIn this way; Thus] the word of the Lord kept spreading and ·growing [or grew strong; prevailed].

²¹ After these things [^Lhad been fulfilled/accomplished], Paul decided [^Lin his spirit; or in the Spirit] to go to Jerusalem, planning to go through Macedonia [^Cnorthern Greece] and Achaia [^Csouthern Greece] and then on to Jerusalem. He said, “After I have been ·to Jerusalem [^Lthere], I must also ·visit [^Lsee] Rome.”
