And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
2
And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
3
And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
4
Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance saying: That they should believe in him, who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
5
Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6
And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them: and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
7
And all the men were about twelve.
8
And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
9
But when some were hardened and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10
And this continued for the space of two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
11
And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
