Acts 18:19-28

19They came to 1Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered 2the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent, 21but 3taking leave of them and saying, “I will return to you again 4if God wills,” he set sail from 5Ephesus.

22When he had landed at 6Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to 7Antioch. 23And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the 8Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24Now a Jew named 9Apollos, an 10Alexandrian by birth, 11an eloquent man, came to 12Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures. 25This man had been instructed in 13the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with 14the baptism of John; 26and 15he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when 16Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him 17the way of God more accurately. 27And when he wanted to go across to 18Achaia, 19the brethren encouraged him and wrote to 20the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly 21helped those who had believed through grace, 28for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating 22by the Scriptures that 23Jesus was the 24Christ.
