Acts 19:1-6

Paul in Ephesus

1 And it happened that while 1Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed 2through the inland[a] country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples.
2 And he said to them, 3"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said, "No, 4we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
3 And he said, 5"Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into 6John's baptism."
4 And Paul said, 7"John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people 8to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus."
5 On hearing this, 9they were baptized in[b] the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And 10when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and 11they began speaking in tongues and 12prophesying.
