Acts of the Apostles

It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.

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."

He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism."

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, on Jesus."

When they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with other languages, and prophesied.

They were about twelve men in all.

He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
