Acts 18:18–28
18 After staying for some time, Paul said farewell to the brothers and sisters and sailed away to Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head at Cenchreae because of a vow he had taken.d 19 When they reached Ephesuse he left them there, but he himself entered the synagogue and debated with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he declined, 21 but he said farewell and added,B “I’ll come back to you again, if God wills.”f Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 On landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and greeted the church, then went down to Antioch.g
23 After spending some time there, he set out, traveling through one place after another in the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.h
24 Now a Jew named Apollos,i a native Alexandrian, an eloquent man who was competent in the use of the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit,C he was speaking and teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew only John’s baptism.j 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. After Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him asideD and explained the way of God to him more accurately.k 27 When he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers and sisters wrote to the disciples to welcome him. After he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.l 28 For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.m
