ve of them, saying, I must by any means keep the
approaching feast at Jerusalem: but I mean to return to you again, if
God so please. So he sailed from Ephesus. (22)And landing at Cesarea,
he went up, and having saluted the church _at Jerusalem_, he went down
to Antioch. (23)And after making some stay, he departed, passing in
regular order through the Galatian district, and Phrygia, confirming
all the disciples.

(24)Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of
eloquence, who was powerful in the Scriptures, had come to Ephesus.
(25)He was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in
spirit, he spake and taught very diligently the things concerning the
Lord, though knowing only the baptism of John. (26)So this man began to
speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and

is, in Christ Jesus. (5)Now when they heard it, they were baptised into
the name of the Lord Jesus. (6)And Paul laying on them his hands, the
Holy Ghost came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
(7)And the men were in all about twelve. (8)And entering into the
synagogue, he spake boldly during three months, reasoning and
persuading the things that concern the kingdom of God. (9)And when some
were hardened, and infidel, speaking evil of the way before the people,
he withdrew from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily
in the school of one Tyrannus. (10)And this he did for two years; so
