Acts 18:19–28

¹⁹He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.↗

²⁰When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;↗

²¹but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.↗

²²When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.↗

²³Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.↗

²⁴Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.↗

²⁵This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.↗

²⁶He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.↗

²⁷When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;↗

²⁸for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.↗
