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

1 It fortuned, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul passed through the upper coasts, and came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples 2 and said unto them, "Have ye received the holy ghost since ye believed?" And they said unto him, "No. We have not heard whether there be any holy ghost or no."

3 And he said unto them, "Wherewith were ye then baptised?" And they said, "With John's baptism."

4 Then said Paul, "John verily baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him, which should come after him. That is on Christ Jesus."

5 When they heard that, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And Paul laid his hands upon them: and the holy ghost came on them, and they spake with tongues and prophesied; 7 and all the men were about twelve.

8 And he went into the synagogue, and behaved himself boldly for the space of three months: disputing, and giving them exhortations of the kingdom of God. 9 When divers waxed hard hearted, and believed not, but spake evil of the way of the Lord, and that before the multitude: he departed from them; And separated the disciples away; And disputed daily in the school of one called Tyrannus. 10 And this continued by the space of two years: So that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
