Disciples of John the Baptist at Ephesus

19:1 While1 Apollos was in Corinth,2 Paul went through the inland3 regions4 and came to Ephesus.5 He6 found some disciples there7 19:2 and said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”8 They replied,9 “No, we have not even10 heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 19:3 So Paul11 said, “Into what then were you baptized?” “Into John’s baptism,” they replied.12 19:4 Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him,13 that is, in Jesus.” 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, 19:6 and when Paul placed14 his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came15 upon them, and they began to speak16 in tongues and to prophesy.17 19:7 (Now there were about twelve men in all.)18
