1 And it came to passe, yt whyle Apollo was at Corinth, Paul passed through the vpper coastes, and came to Ephesus, and founde certaine disciples,

2 And sayde vnto them: Haue ye receaued the holy ghost sence ye beleued? And they saide vnto hym: We haue not hearde whether there be any holy ghost or no.

3 And he sayde vnto them: Unto what then were ye baptized? And they sayde: vnto Iohns baptisme.

4 Then sayde Paul: Iohn veryly baptized with the baptisme of repentaunce, saying vnto the people, that they should beleue on hym which shoulde come after hym, that is, on Christe Iesus.

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lorde Iesu.

6 And whe Paul had layde his handes vpon them, the holy ghost came on the, and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

7 And all the men were about twelue.

8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldlye for the space of three monethes, disputyng & perswadyng those thynges that appertayne to the kyngdome of God.

9 But when diuers waxed harde hearted, and beleued not, but spake euyll of the way of the Lorde) and that before the multitude, he departed from them, & seperated ye disciples. And he disputed dayly in the scoole of one called Tyrannus.

10 And this continued by the space of two yeres, so that all they whiche dwelt in Asia, hearde the worde of the Lord Iesu, both Iewes and Grekes.

11 And God wrought speciall miracles by the handes of Paul.

12 So that from his body, were brought vnto the sicke, napkins, and partlettes, and the diseases departed from them, & the euyll spirites went out of them.
