Acts 18:18-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. Yet truly, Paul, after he had remained for many more days, having said goodbye to the brothers, sailed into Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had made a vow.

19. And he arrived at Ephesus, and he left them behind there. Yet truly, he himself, entering into the synagogue, was disputing with the Jews.

20. Then, although they were asking him to remain for a longer time, he would not agree.

21. Instead, saying goodbye and telling them, "I will return to you again, God willing," he set out from Ephesus.

22. And after going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and he greeted the Church there, and then he descended to Antioch.

23. And having spent some length of time there, he set out, and he walked in order through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24. Now a certain Jew named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man who was powerful with the Scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.

25. He was learned in the Way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching the things that are of Jesus, but knowing only the baptism of John.

26. And so, he began to act faithfully in the synagogue. And when Priscilla and Aquila had heard him, they took him aside and expounded the Way of the Lord to him more thoroughly.

27. Then, since he wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers wrote an exhortation to the disciples, so that they might accept him. And when he had arrived, he held many discussions with those who had believed.

28. For he was vehemently and publicly reproving the Jews, by revealing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
