Acts 19:1-7 (Good News Translation)
1
While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior of the province and arrived in Ephesus. There he found some disciples
2
and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?" "We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit," they answered.
3
"Well, then, what kind of baptism did you receive?" Paul asked. "The baptism of John," they answered.
4
Paul said, "The baptism of John was for those who turned from their sins; and he told the people of Israel to believe in the one who was coming after him - that is, in Jesus." 1
5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6
Paul placed his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came upon them; they spoke in strange tongues and also proclaimed God's message.
7
They were about twelve men in all.
