Acts 19:1-7

Paul in Ephesus

1 And it happened that while ¹Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed ²through the inland^[a] country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples.

2 And he said to them, ³“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? ” And they said, “No, ⁴we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. ”

3 And he said, ⁵“Into what then were you baptized? ” They said, “Into ⁶John’s baptism. ”

4 And Paul said, ⁷“John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people ⁸to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus. ”

5 On hearing this, ⁹they were baptized in^[b] the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And ¹⁰when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and ¹¹they began speaking in tongues and ¹²prophesying.

7 There were about twelve men in all.
