Acts 19:1-10

1It happened that while 1Apollos was at 2Corinth, Paul passed through the 3upper country and came to 4Ephesus, and found some disciples. 2He said to them, “5Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, 6we have not even heard whether 7there is a Holy Spirit.” 3And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “8Into John’s baptism.” 4Paul said, “9John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people 10to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5When they heard this, they were 11baptized 12in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6And when Paul had 13laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began 14speaking with tongues and 15prophesying. 7There were in all about twelve men.

8And he entered 16the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them 17about the kingdom of God. 9But when 18some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of 19the Way before the 20people, he withdrew from them and took away 21the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10This took place for 22two years, so that all who lived in 2324Asia heard 25the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
