Acts 18:19-28

New King James Version

¹⁹ And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. ²⁰ When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, ²¹ but took leave of them, saying, ^(A)“I^[a] must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, ^(B)God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus.

²² And when he had landed at ^(C)Caesarea, and ^[b]gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch. ²³ After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of ^(D)Galatia and Phrygia ^[c]in order, ^(E)strengthening all the disciples.

Ministry of Apollos

^24 (F)Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. ²⁵ This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being ^(G)fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, ^(H)though he knew only the baptism of John. ²⁶ So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. ²⁷ And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, ^(I)he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; ²⁸ for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, ^(J)showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
