Acts

³Paul asked them, “So what kind of baptism did you have?” They said, “It was the baptism that John taught.” ⁴Paul said, “John told people to be baptized to show they wanted to change their lives. He told people to believe in the one who would come after him, and that one is Jesus.” ⁵When these followers heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶Then Paul laid his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them. They began speaking different languages and prophesying. ⁷There were about twelve men in this group. ⁸Paul went into the synagogue and spoke very boldly. He continued doing this for three months. He talked with the Jews, trying to persuade them to accept what he was telling them about God’s kingdom. ⁹But some of them became stubborn and refused to believe. In front of everyone, they said bad things about the Way. So Paul left these Jews and took the Lord’s followers with him. He went to a place where a man named Tyrannus had a school. There Paul talked with people every day.
