Acts 18:18–26

Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos

¹⁸And Paul, having remained many days longer, ^atook leave of ^bthe brothers and put out to sea for ^cSyria, and with him were ^dPriscilla and ^eAquila. In ^fCenchreae ¹he ^ghad his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow.

¹⁹And they arrived at ^aEphesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered ^bthe synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

²⁰When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent,

²¹but ^ataking leave of them and saying, “I will return to you again ^bif God wills,” he set sail from ^cEphesus.

²²And when he had landed at ^aCaesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to ^bAntioch.

²³And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the ^aGalatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

²⁴Now a Jew named ^aApollos, an ^bAlexandrian by birth, ¹an eloquent man, arrived at ^cEphesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures.

²⁵This man had been instructed in ^athe way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with ^bthe baptism of John;

²⁶and ¹he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when ^aPriscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him ^bthe way of God more accurately.
