Acts 18:24-26
Lexham English Bible
The Early Ministry of Apollos
24 Now a certain Jew named[a] Apollos, a native[b] Alexandrian, arrived in Ephesus—an eloquent man who was well-versed in the scriptures. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being enthusiastic in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about Jesus, although he[c] knew only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when[d] Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.
