Acts 19:1-10 - Paul Finds Disciples Of John The Baptist In Ephesus

1 NOW it came to pass that during the time Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, after passing through the upper provinces, came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples, 2 said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not even heard if the Holy Ghost is [given].

3 And he asked them, Into what then were ye baptised? And they replied, Into John's baptism.

4 Then said Paul, John indeed baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who was coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.

5 Now when they heard it, they were baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And Paul laying on them his hands, the Holy Ghost came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 7 And the men were in all about twelve.

8 And entering into the synagogue, he spake boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things that concern the kingdom of God. 9 And when some were hardened, and infidel, speaking evil of the way before the people, he withdrew from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 10 And this he did for two years; so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
