Apollos Speaks Boldly in Ephesus

24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, arrived in Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well-versed in the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. Being fervent in spirit, he spoke and accurately taught the facts about [fn]the Lord, though he knew only about the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when [fn]Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God in greater detail. 27 And when Apollos wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples, encouraging them to receive him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who had become believers through grace, 28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
