Acts 19:1-10

1While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul went through the inland regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciples there

2and said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They replied, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

3So Paul said, “Into what then were you baptized?” “Into John’s baptism,” they replied.

4Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,

6and when Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.

7(Now there were about twelve men in all.)

8So Paul entered the synagogue and spoke out fearlessly for three months, addressing and convincing them about the kingdom of God.

9But when some were stubborn and refused to believe, reviling the Way before the congregation, he left them and took the disciples with him, addressing them every day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

10This went on for two years, so that all who lived in the province of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord.
