Chapter 18, verse 15 - Chapter 19, verse 5
15
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
16
He drove them from the judgment seat.
17
Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
18
Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19
He came to Ephesus, and he left them there
20
When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined
21
but taking his leave of them, and saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus.
22
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
23
Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
24
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord
26
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27
When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace
28
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Chapter 19
1
It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2
He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3
He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4
Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”
5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
