Paul in Ephesus
19 While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul was visiting some places on the way to Ephesus. There he found some followers. 2 Paul asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
They said, “We have never even heard of a Holy Spirit!”
3 So he asked, “What kind of baptism did you have?”
They said, “It was the baptism that John[a] taught.”
4 Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of changed hearts and lives. He told people to believe in the One who would come after him. That One is Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 Then Paul laid his hands on them,[b] and the Holy Spirit came upon them. They began speaking different languages and prophesying. 7 There were about 12 men in this group.
