Paul Returns to Antioch in Syria

18So Paul, after* remaining many days longer, said farewell to the brothers and* sailed away to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his* head at Cenchrea, because he had taken a vow.19So they arrived at Ephesus, and those he left behind there, but he himself entered into the synagogue and* discussed with the Jews. 20And when* they asked him* to stay for a longer time, he did not give his consent, 21but saying farewell and telling them,* “I will return to you again if* God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus.

22And when he* arrived at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and* went down to Antioch. 23And after* spending some time there, he departed, traveling through one place after another in the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

The Early Ministry of Apollos

24Now a certain Jew namedi Apollos, a nativej Alexandrian, arrived in Ephesus—an eloquent man who was well-versed in the scriptures. 25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being enthusiastic in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about Jesus, although he* knew only the baptism of John. 26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when* Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.
