Acts 19:1-5 And it
came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through
the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto
them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto
him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said
unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying
unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him,
that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name
of the Lord Jesus. Apollos arrived in Corinth just after Paul had left. And
when Paul came to Ephesus, Apollos had just left. They must have passed each
other on the road and didn’t know it! Paul asked the God-fearing people in
Ephesus about Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. But they didn’t know anything
about Jesus or the Holy Spirit. They only knew about repentance from their sins
from Apollos’ preaching about John. They were ready to believe on Jesus, but
they just hadn’t heard about Jesus. Well Paul took care of that right away! He
preached the whole gospel of Jesus Christ and they were saved and baptized and
received the Holy Spirit.
