TWELVE DISCIPLES OF JOHN THE BAPTIST

19 While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciplesn 2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”o

“No,” they told him, “we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”p

3 “Into what then were you baptized?” he asked them.

“Into John’s baptism,” they replied.q

4 Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance,r telling the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”s

5 When they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands ont them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tonguesE and to prophesy.u
