Acts 18:19-28

19They cameG2658 to 1EphesusG2181, and he leftG2641 them thereG847. NowG1161 he himselfG846 enteredG1525 2the synagogueG4864 and reasonedG1256 with the JewsG2453. 20When they askedG2065 him to stayG3306 for a longerG4183 timeG5550, he did not consentG1962, 21but 3takingG657 leaveG657 of them and sayingG3004, “I will returnG344 to you againG3825 4if GodG2316 willsG2309,” he setG321 sailG321 from 5EphesusG2181.

22When he had landedG2718 at 6CaesareaG2542, he wentG305 up and greetedG782 the churchG1577, and wentG2597 downG2597 to 7AntiochG490. 23And having spentG4160 someG5100 timeG5550 there, he leftG1831 and passedG1330 successivelyG2517 throughG1330 the 8GalatianG1054 regionG5561 and PhrygiaG5435, strengtheningG4741 allG3956 the disciplesG3101.

24NowG1161 a JewG2453 namedG3686 9ApollosG625, an 10AlexandrianG221 by birthG1085, 11an eloquentG3052 manG435, cameG2658 to 12EphesusG2181; and he was mightyG1415 in the ScripturesG1124. 25ThisG3778 manG3778 had beenG1510 instructedG2727 in 13the wayG3598 of the LordG2962; and beingG2204 ferventG2204 in spiritG4151, he was speakingG2980 and teachingG1321 accuratelyG199 the things concerningG4012 JesusG2424, beingG1987 acquaintedG1987 onlyG3440 with 14the baptismG908 of JohnG2491; 26and 15he beganG757 to speakG3955 out boldlyG3955 in the synagogueG4864. But when 16PriscillaG4251 and AquilaG207 heardG191 him, they tookG4355 him asideG4355 and explainedG1620 to him 17the wayG3598 of GodG2316 moreG199 accuratelyG199. 27And when he wantedG1014 to goG1330 acrossG1330 to 18AchaiaG882, 19the brethrenG80 encouragedG4389 him and wroteG1125 to 20the disciplesG3101 to welcomeG588 him; and when he had arrivedG3854, he greatlyG4183 21helpedG4820 thoseG3588 who had believedG4100 throughG1223 graceG5485, 28for he powerfullyG2159 refutedG1246 the JewsG2453 in publicG1219, demonstratingG1925 22by the ScripturesG1124 that 23JesusG2424 was the 24ChristG5547.
