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. 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.” And he said, (J)“Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into (K)John's baptism.” 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.” On hearing this, (N)they were baptized in[b] the name of the Lord Jesus. 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.
