English Standard Version

²⁷ And when he wished to cross to ^(A)Achaia, ^(B)the brothers encouraged him and ^(C)wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, ^(D)he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, ²⁸ for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures ^(E)that the Christ was Jesus.

Paul in Ephesus

19 And it happened that while ^(F)Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed ^(G)through the inland^[a] country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. ² And he said to them, ^(H)“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, ^(I)we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” ³ And he said, ^(J)“Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into ^(K)John's baptism.” ⁴ And Paul said, ^(L)“John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people ^(M)to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” ⁵ On hearing this, ^(N)they were baptized in^[b] the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And ^(O)when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and ^(P)they began speaking in tongues and ^(Q)prophesying.
