Acts 19:1-9 ▼

1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples;

2 and he said to them, "Did ye receive the Holy Spirit, after having believed?" And they said to him, "Nay, we did not even hear whether there is a Holy Spirit."

3 And he said, "Into what, then, were ye immersed?" And they said, "Into John's immersion."

4 And Paul said, "John immersed with an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him coming after him; that is, on Jesus."

5 And, having heard this , they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus;

6 and, Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they were speaking with tongues, and prophesying.

7 And all the men were about twelve.

8 And, entering into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading as to the things concerning the Kingdom of God.

9 But, when some were hardening themselves and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he, withdrawing from them, separated the disciples; reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
