Acts 18:25–19:7

25  He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. 26  And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to them and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly. 27  And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace. 28  For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

Chapter 19

1  And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples, 2  he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they said to him, We did not even hear if the Holy Spirit was come. 3  And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John. 4  And Paul said, John indeed baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus. 5  And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus. 6  And Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7  And all the men were about twelve.
