Acts 19:1–12

¹And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples, ²he 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. ³And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John. ⁴And 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. ⁵And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶And Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. ⁷And all the men were about twelve.

⁸And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. ⁹But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. ¹⁰And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. ¹¹And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, ¹²so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body and put upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.
