Albert Barnes Commentary Acts 19:26

"And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands:" — Acts 19:26 (ASV)

You see and hear. You see this at Ephesus, and you hear the same of other places.

Throughout all Asia. This refers to all Asia Minor, or perhaps the province of which Ephesus was the capital. (See Barnes' notes on Acts 2:9).

This Paul has persuaded. We have here the noble testimony of a pagan to the zeal and success of Paul's ministry. It is an acknowledgment that his labors had been most strikingly successful in turning the people from idolatry.

Saying that they are no gods, etc. (See Barnes' notes on Acts 14:14-15).

The term "much people" here means "many people." The assertion that they are no gods is supported by Scripture (Psalms 115:4; Isaiah 44:10–20).
