Acts 19:1-10 - Paul Finds Disciples Of John The Baptist In Ephesus
1 Whilst Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having pass'd through the upper provinces of Asia, arrived at Ephesus, where finding some disciples, he said to them, 2 did you receive the holy spirit, when you made profession of your faith? they answer'd, we have not so much as heard of a holy spirit.
3 what baptism then, said he, did you receive? they replied, the baptism of John.
4 upon which Paul said, John indeed administer'd the baptism of repentance, but with this admonition, that they should believe in him, who was to come after, that is, in Jesus the Messias.
5 when they heard this, they were initiated by baptism into the christian profession. 6 and Paul having given them imposition of hands, the holy spirit came upon them, and they spoke foreign languages, and prophesied: 7 the number of them being about twelve.
8 At length Paul went to the synagogue, where he spoke with great freedom, and for three months he conferr'd with them to persuade them of the truth of the evangelical kingdom. 9 but some of them being such obdurate infidels as to inveigh against the institution before the populace, he retired, and taking the disciples with him, he instructed them daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 10 this he continued for two years; so that the Jews and proselytes of that part of Asia heard the doctrine of the Lord Jesus.
