Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ἐβαπτίσθησαν
˱they˲_/were/_baptized
The pronoun they refers to the believers in Ephesus who were speaking with Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [those believers were baptized]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐβαπτίσθησαν
˱they˲_/were/_baptized
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [they received baptism]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ
in the name ˱of˲_the Lord Jesus
Here the name of Jesus represents his authority. By being baptized, these believers were acknowledging Jesus’ authority over their lives as their Lord and Savior. Alternate translation: [to express their allegiance to Jesus as their Lord]
19:1-7 Paul traveled to Ephesus after Apollos had left. Subsequently, Apollos returned to Ephesus while Paul was still working there (1 Cor 16:12). The two men had different personalities, gifts, and roles, but God worked through both of them.
• Some believers in Ephesus still had an inadequate understanding of the Christian faith (cp. Acts 18:26) and did not receive the Holy Spirit when they believed. They had accepted John’s baptism, which called for repentance from sin, but had not received Christian baptism, which included the gift of the Holy Spirit. When Paul had instructed them further, they were able to receive Christian baptism (19:5) and the Holy Spirit (19:6).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
