Acts 19:1-10

Paul at Ephesus

1 It happened that while 1Apollos was at 2Corinth, Paul passed through the 3upper country and came to 4Ephesus, and found some disciples.
2 He said to them, "5Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, 6we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."
3 And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "7Into John's baptism."
4 Paul said, "8John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people 9to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
5 When they heard this, they were 10baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had 11laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began 12speaking with tongues and 13prophesying.
7 There were in all about twelve men.
8 And he entered 14the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them 15about the kingdom of God.
9 But when 16some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of 17the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away 18the disciples, reasoning daily * in the school of Tyrannus.
10 This took place for 19two years, so that all who lived in 20Asia heard 21the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
