Acts 18:19-28

19 And they came to ¹Ephesus, and he left them there, but ²he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

20 When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined.

21 But on taking leave of them he said, "I will return to you ³if God wills," and he set sail from Ephesus.

22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he ⁴went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.

23 After spending some time there, he departed and ⁵went from one place to the next through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, ⁶strengthening all the disciples.

Apollos Speaks Boldly in Ephesus

24 Now a Jew named ⁷Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, ⁸competent in the Scriptures.

25 He had been instructed in ⁹the way of the Lord. And ¹⁰being fervent in spirit,^[a] he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only ¹¹the baptism of John.

26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when ¹²Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him and explained to him ¹³the way of God more accurately.

27 And when he wished to cross to ¹⁴Achaia, ¹⁵the brothers encouraged him and ¹⁶wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, ¹⁷he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,

28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures ¹⁸that the Christ was Jesus.
