5 When these followers heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Then Paul laid his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them. They began speaking different languages and prophesying.
7 There were about twelve men in this group.
8 Paul 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.
9 But 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.
10 He did this for two years. Because of this work, everyone in Asia, Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord.
11 God used Paul to do some very special miracles.
