24 [a]And a certain Jew named (A)Apollos, born at Alexandria, came to Ephesus, an eloquent man, and [b]mighty in the Scriptures.

26 And he began to speak boldly in the Synagogue. Whom when (B)Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the [c]way of God more perfectly.

27 And when he was minded to go into Achaia, the brethren exhorting him, wrote to the disciples to receive him: and after he was come thither, he helped them much which had believed through [d]grace.

28 For mightily he confuted publicly the Jews, with great vehemency, showing by the Scriptures, that Jesus was that Christ.
