1 While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul took a route through the interior and came to Ephesus, where he found some disciples.
2 He asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you came to believe?" They replied, "We’ve not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
3 Then he said, "What baptism did you receive, then?" They answered, "John’s baptism."
4 Paul explained, "John baptized with a baptism by which people showed they were changing their hearts and lives. It was a baptism that told people about the one who was coming after him. This is the one in whom they were to believe. This one is Jesus."
5 After they listened to Paul, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in other languages and prophesying.
7 Altogether, there were about twelve people.
