Excerpt from A Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians

Paul, agreeably to his promise, returned to Ephesus, pro bably in the fall of the year 54. Here he found certain disciples who had received only John's baptism, to whom Paul said: John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the pe0p1e, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spake with tongues and prophesied. Acts 19, 3 - 6.

Excerpt from A Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians

The city of Ephesus, under the Romans, the capital of Proconsular Asia, was situated on a plain near the mouth of the river Cayster. It was originally a Greek colony, but became in no small degree orientalized by the influences which surrounded it. Being a free city, it enjoyed under the Romans to a great extent the right of self-government. Its constitution was essentially democratic. The municipal authority was vested in a Senate, and in the Assembly of the people. It was by his remonstrance the tumultuous assembly of which mention is made in Acts 19, 24 - 40, was induced to disperse.

The city was principally celebrated for its temple of Diana. From the earliest period of its history, Ephesus was regarded as sacred to that goddess. The attributes belonging to the Grecian Diana, however, seem to have been combined with those which belonged to the Phœnician Astarte. Her image, as revered in Ephesus, was not a product of Grecian Art, but a many-breasted, mummy-like figure of oriental symbolism. Her famous Temple was, however, a Greek building of the Ionic order.
