Acts 19:7
7There were about 12 men there.
Acts 19:7 in other versions
Context of Acts 19:7
5When the believers in Ephesus understood this, Paul baptized them. This showed that they now believed in the Lord Jesus. 6Then Paul put his hands on each believer's head. When he did this, the Holy Spirit came down on them. They spoke in different languages and they spoke messages from God. There were about 12 men there. 8For three months, Paul went to the Jewish meeting place in Ephesus on their day of rest. He was not afraid to speak to the people there. He talked strongly with them about the kingdom of God. 9But some of them did not accept what Paul said. They refused to believe the message about Jesus.

He left there and he took with him the other believers. Every day he talked with people in another place. It was a large room, where a man called Tyrannus usually taught people.
