Acts 19:1-10 - Paul Finds Disciples Of John The Baptist In Ephesus
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country to Ephesus, and found some disciples. 2 He said to them: Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? They said: We have never even heard of a Holy Spirit.
3 Paul asked: What kind of baptism did you get? They replied: It was the baptism John taught.
4 Paul said: John baptized with the baptism of repentance. He told the people they should believe in Jesus, the one who came after John.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 Paul laid his hands on them and Holy Spirit came upon them. They spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 There were twelve men in all.
8 He entered the synagogue and spoke boldly reasoning and persuading about the kingdom of God. He did this for three months. 9 Some were obstinate and publicly maligned The Way before the crowds. He departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 This continued for two years so that all who lived in this part of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
