Paul Arrives In Ephesus. He Baptizes Some Disciples of Apollos

19 And it came about during Apollos’s being in Corinth that Paul, having gone through the upper regions, came down to Ephesus and found some disciples. ² And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit, having believed?” And the ones said to him, “But we did not even hear if ^[a] the Holy Spirit is given”. ³ And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And the ones said, “Into John’s baptism”. ⁴ And Paul said, “John baptized a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus”. ⁵ And having heard it, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they were speaking in tongues and prophesying. ⁷ And all the men were [totaling] about twelve.
