Acts 19:1-10 - Paul Finds Disciples Of John The Baptist In Ephesus
1 It was while Apollos was in Corinth that Paul, by passing through the inland districts, came to Ephesus. He found a few disciples there 2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered him, "So far from that, we never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
3 He then asked, "With what sort of baptism then were you baptized?" They answered, "With John's baptism."
4 Then Paul said, "John baptized with a baptism that was an expression of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was to come after him; that is, in Jesus."
5 On hearing this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, 6 and when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began to speak in foreign tongues and to prophesy. 7 In all there were about twelve men.
8 He went to the synagogue there and for three months courageously spoke, keeping up his discussions and continuing to persuade them about the kingdom of God. 9 But as some of them grew harder and harder and refused to believe, actually criticizing The Way before the people, he left them, withdrew his disciples, and continued his discussions in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus. 10 This went on for two years, so that everybody living in the province of Asia, Greeks as well as Jews, heard the Lord's message.
