19 So then while Apollos was at Korinthos, Paulos travelled through the interior regions before arriving at Efesos. He found some followers there, 2 and asked them if they had received the holy spirit when they had first believed in Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus).

They replied, “We hadn’t even heard that there’s a holy spirit.”

3 “So then what were you immersed into?” asked Paulos.

“With Yohan’s (John; Grk. Yoannes) immersion,” they answered.

4 Then Paulos said, “Yohan immersed people in water with an immersion that went with repentance from their sins, but he told them to believe in the one who would follow him, that is to believe in Yeshua.”

5 When the followers heard this, they were immersed in water again, this time proclaiming their faith in Yeshua the master. 6 Then Paulos placed his hands on them and prayed and the holy spirit came down onto them and they started speaking in other languages and speaking messages from God. 7 There were about twelve men in the group.

8 So Paulos started going to the Jewish meeting hall and for the next three months he boldly discussed and persuaded them about God’s kingdom. 9 But as some of them refused to believe and became hardened against his teaching and started telling everyone that the Yeshua way was evil, Paulos stopped teaching in the meeting hall and taught the followers at Turannos’ school instead. 10 This went on for two years to the point that everyone in Asia Minor, whether Yehudim (Jews) or Hellains (Greeks), heard the message about Yeshua.
