Acts 18:20-28

20When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent, 21but 1taking leave of them and saying, “I will return to you again 2if God wills,” he set sail from 3Ephesus.

22When he had landed at 4Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to 5Antioch. 23And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the 6Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24Now a Jew named 7Apollos, an 8Alexandrian by birth, 9an eloquent man, came to 10Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures. 25This man had been instructed in 11the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with 12the baptism of John; 26and 13he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when 14Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him 15the way of God more accurately. 27And when he wanted to go across to 16Achaia, 17the brethren encouraged him and wrote to 18the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly 19helped those who had believed through grace, 28for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating 20by the Scriptures that 21Jesus was the 22Christ.
