Ephesus » Apollos visits and preaches in
Then Paul abode there yet many days, and taking leave of the disciples, he set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having cut off his hair at Cenchrea: for he had a vow. And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself went into the synagogue, and discoursed with the Jews. But when they were importunate with him to prolong his stay among them, he consented not; read more.
but took his leave of them, saying, I must by any means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem: but I mean to return to you again, if God so please. So he sailed from Ephesus. And landing at Cesarea, he went up, and having saluted the church [at Jerusalem], he went down to Antioch. And after making some stay, he departed, passing in regular order through the Galatian district, and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples. Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, who was powerful in the Scriptures, had come to Ephesus. He was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught very diligently the things concerning the Lord, though knowing only the baptism of John. So this man began to speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him home with them, and more accurately expounded to him the way of the Lord. And when he wished to pass over to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; who arriving, contributed much to [confirm] those who believed through grace. For he strenuously argued with the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.
