Acts 19:1-7

Paul in Ephesus

Now it happened that while ^aApollos was at ^bCorinth, Paul passed through the ^cupper regions and came to ^dEphesus and found some disciples. 2 And he said to them, “^aDid you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, ^bwe have not even heard if the Holy Spirit is being received.” 3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “^aInto John’s baptism.” 4 Then Paul said, “^aJohn baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people ^bto believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5 And when they heard this, they were ^abaptized ¹in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had ^alaid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began ^bspeaking with tongues and ^cprophesying. 7 Now there were in all about twelve men.
