Pavel zůstal v Efesu dva roky, konvertoval mnoho Greek Jews and gentiles to Christianity; John the Apostle byl zatčen v Efesu, ale později se vrátil pozdě v životě. Pavel napsal Epistle to the Ephesians in 46 AD; it was also one of the seven church of Asia mentioned in the Book of , in which John the Apostle praised it for having worked hard and not fainted and for separating itself from the wicked, although he admonished it for opuštění its first love. After the First Council of Nicaea in 325, it became the seat of an Orthodox metropolis which remained active until 1923.
