1. While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciples
2. and said to them, “Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?”They said to him, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3. He said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4. Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people that they should believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
5. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6. When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied.
7. There were about twelve men in all.
8. He went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, lecturing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
9. But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the crowd, he withdrew from them and took the disciples, lecturing daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10. This continued for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11. God worked powerful miracles by the hands of Paul.
