Acts 18:20-28

20When they asked him to stay longer, he would not consent,

21but said farewell to them and added, “I will come back to you again if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus,

22and when he arrived at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem and then went down to Antioch.

23After he spent some time there, Paul left and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus. He was an eloquent speaker, well-versed in the scriptures.

25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and with great enthusiasm he spoke and taught accurately the facts about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

26He began to speak out fearlessly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.

27When Apollos wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he assisted greatly those who had believed by grace,

28for he refuted the Jews vigorously in public debate, demonstrating from the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.
