Paul at Ephesus

19 It happened that while ^(A)Apollos was at ^(B)Corinth, Paul passed through the ^(C)upper country and came to ^(D)Ephesus, and found some disciples. ² He said to them, “^(E)Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, ^(F)we have not even heard whether ^[a]there is a Holy Spirit.” ³ And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “^(G)Into John’s baptism.” ⁴ Paul said, “^(H)John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people ^(I)to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” ⁵ When they heard this, they were ^(J)baptized ^[b]in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And when Paul had ^(K)laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began ^(L)speaking with tongues and ^(M)prophesying. ⁷ There were in all about twelve men.
