Acts 18:19-28 ▼

19 And they came to Eph'e-sus, and Paul entered into the synagogue and spoke to the Jews.

20 When they wanted him to tarry a longer time with them, he consented not;

21 Saying, I must by all means celebrate the coming feast as is my custom at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing.

22 And he left A’qui-la and Pris-cil’la at Eph'e-sus and sailed and when he landed at Cæs-a-re’a, he went up and saluted the members of the church, and went on to An’ti-och.

23 And after he had spent some special days there he departed and traveled all through the country of Phryg’i-a and Ga-la’tia, increasing disciples in all of them.

24 And a certain Jew named A-pol’los, a native of Al-ex-an’dri-a, an eloquent man and well versed in the scriptures, came to Eph'esus.

25 He had been converted to the way of the LORD, and was fervent in the spirit; he spoke and taught very fully concerning Jesus, but he knew only the baptism of John.

26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: and when A’qui-la and Pris-cil’la heard him, they took him to their home, and fully showed him the way of the LORD.

27 And when he was disposed to go to Acha’ia, the brethren gave him a warm reception and wrote to the disciples to welcome him, and when he had come, he greatly helped all believers by means of grace.

28 For he forcefully and publicly argued against the Jews, proving by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
