Acts 19:1–12

¹And it came to pass, in Apollos’ being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples, ²he said unto them, ‘The Holy Spirit did ye receive—having believed?’ and they said unto him, ‘But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;’ ³and he said unto them, ‘To what, then, were ye baptized?’ and they said, ‘To John’s baptism.’ ⁴And Paul said, ‘John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe—that is, in the Christ—Jesus;’ ⁵and they, having heard, were baptized—to the name of the Lord Jesus, ⁶and Paul having laid on them his hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying, ⁷and all the men were, as it were, twelve.

⁸And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God, ⁹and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus. ¹⁰And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks, ¹¹mighty works also—not common—was God working through the hands of Paul, ¹²so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.
