Acts 19:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples

2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

3 “Into what, then, were you baptized?” Paul asked. “The baptism of John,” they replied.

4 Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
