Acts 18:18-28
18Now PaulG3972, when he had remainedG4357 manyG2425 daysG2250 longerG2089, 1tookG657 leaveG657 of 2the brothersG80 and sisters and sailedG1602 awayG1602 to 3SyriaG4947, and 4PriscillaG4251 and 5AquilaG207 were with him. 6Paul first 7had his hairG2776 cutG2751 at 8CenchreaG2747, for he was keepingG2192 a vowG2171. 19They cameG2658 to 9EphesusG2181, and he leftG2641 them thereG847. NowG1161 he himselfG846 enteredG1525 10the synagogueG4864 and reasonedG1256 with the JewsG2453. 20When they askedG2065 him to stayG3306 for a longerG4183 timeG5550, he did not consentG1962, 21but 11tookG657 leaveG657 of them and saidG3004, “I will returnG344 to you againG3825 12if GodG2316 willsG2309,” and he setG321 sailG321 from 13EphesusG2181.
22When he had landedG2718 in 14CaesareaG2542, he wentG305 upG305 to Jerusalem and greetedG782 the churchG1577, and wentG2597 downG2597 to 15AntiochG490. 23And after spendingG4160 someG5100 timeG5550 there, he leftG1831 and passedG1330 successivelyG2517 throughG1330 the 16GalatianG1054 regionG5561 and PhrygiaG5435, strengtheningG4741 allG3956 the disciplesG3101.
24NowG1161 a JewG2453 namedG3686 17ApollosG625, an 18AlexandrianG221 by birthG1085, 19an eloquentG3052 manG435, cameG2658 to 20EphesusG2181; and he was proficientG1415 in the ScripturesG1124. 25ThisG3778 manG3778 had beenG1510 instructedG2727 in 21the wayG3598 of the LordG2962; and beingG2204 ferventG2204 in spiritG4151, he was accuratelyG199 speakingG2980 and teachingG1321 things aboutG4012 JesusG2424, beingG1987 acquaintedG1987 onlyG3440 with 22the baptismG908 of JohnG2491; 26and 23he beganG757 speakingG3955 boldlyG3955 in the synagogueG4864. But when 24PriscillaG4251 and AquilaG207 heardG191 him, they tookG4355 him asideG4355 and explainedG1620 25the wayG3598 of GodG2316 moreG199 accuratelyG199 to him. 27And when he wantedG1014 to goG1330 acrossG1330 to 26AchaiaG882, 27the brothersG80 encouragedG4389 him and wroteG1125 to 28the disciplesG3101 to welcomeG588 him; and when he had arrivedG3854, he greatlyG4183 29helpedG4820 thoseG3588 who had believedG4100 throughG1223 graceG5485, 28for he powerfullyG2159 refutedG1246 the JewsG2453 in publicG1219, demonstratingG1925 30by the ScripturesG1124 that 31JesusG2424 was the 32ChristG5547.
