Acts 18:19-28

19When they reached Ephesus he left them there, but he himself entered the synagogue and debated with the Jews.

20When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he declined,

21but he said farewell and added, “I’ll come back to you again, if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

22On landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and greeted the church, then went down to Antioch.

23After spending some time there, he set out, traveling through one place after another in the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24Now a Jew named Apollos, a native Alexandrian, an eloquent man who was competent in the use of the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus.

25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew only John’s baptism.

26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. After Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.

27When he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers and sisters wrote to the disciples to welcome him. After he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.

28For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.
