Acts 19:1-10
Paul in Ephesus
1And it happened that while aApollos was at Corinth, Paul passed bthrough the inland ▼▼Greek upper (that is, highland)
country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2And he said to them, d“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, ewe have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3And he said, f“Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into gJohn’s baptism.” 4And Paul said, h“John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people ito believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” 5On hearing this, jthey were baptized in ▼▼Or into
the name of the Lord Jesus. 6And lwhen Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and mthey began speaking in tongues and nprophesying. 7There were about twelve men in all. 8And ohe entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and persuading them pabout the kingdom of God. 9 qBut when some became stubborn and rcontinued in unbelief, speaking evil of sthe Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus. ▼
▼Some manuscripts add from the fifth hour to the tenth (that is, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
10This continued for utwo years, so that vall the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
