Came to Ephesus. Ephesus, on the coast, was near sea level.

Finding certain disciples. These disciples had only been baptized with John's baptism (Ac 19:3), and had but an imperfect knowledge of Christ. Their case presents some difficulties hard to explain, unless we had more of the facts. They had evidently been baptized by some of John's disciples, possibly in Asia, after the Great Commission was given, and were no doubt Jews. Some think that they were baptized by Apollos before he was "instructed in the way of the Lord . . . more perfectly" (Ac 18:25,26).
