24 Meanwhile a Jewish man named Apollos (who had been born in the city of Alexandria) arrived in Ephesus. He knew the Hebrew scriptures well 25 and had been taught about the master’s way. Being a very enthusiastic person, he started teaching about Yeshua, even though he didn’t know about being filled with the spirit.[ref] 26 So Apollos started speaking out boldly in the Jewish meeting hall. Priscilla and Aquila listened to him, then asked to speak with him privately and explained God’s way more accurately. 27 Now Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, so the believers encouraged him and sent a letter ahead of him to tell the believers there to welcome him, so when he arrived there, he was able to contribute a lot to those who through God’s grace had also become believers. 28 Apollos was also able to thoroughly refute the arguments of the Jews and used the scriptures to show that Yeshua is the messiah.
