And when Paul had (K)laid hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they began (L)speaking with tongues and (M)prophesying. There were about twelve men in all.

Paul in Ephesus

19 It was while Apollos was in Corinth that Paul passed through the inland districts and came to Ephesus. He found a few disciples there and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”

They answered him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

He then asked, “Then into what were you baptized?”

They answered, “Into John’s baptism.”

Then Paul said, “John baptized when they repented, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in foreign languages[a] and to prophesy. There were about twelve men in all.
