Acts 19:1-6

Listen to Acts 19:1-6

Paul Finds Disciples of John the Baptist in Ephesus

1 And it happened that [while] Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the inland regions [and] came to Ephesus and found some disciples.
2 And he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit [when you] believed?" And they [said] to him, "But we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit!"
3 And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "Into the baptism of John."
4 And Paul said, "John baptized [with] a baptism of repentance, telling the people that they should believe in the one who was to come after him--that is, in Jesus."
5 And [when they] heard [this], they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And [when] Paul laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.
