TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

ἐγένετο δὲ

˱it˲_became and

Luke is using the phrase And it happened that to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διελθόντα τὰ ἀνωτερικὰ μέρη

/having/_passed_through the upper parts

Luke says that Paul traveled through the upper parts of the province of Asia to indicate that he followed a more direct route to Ephesus that went over higher ground than did the main route. The implication is that Paul wanted to go directly to Ephesus after visiting the churches in Galatia and Phrygia (18:23), as he had promised he would do if that was God’s will (18:21). You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “taking the most direct route”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατελθεῖν εἰς

/to/_come_down to

Luke says that Paul came down to Ephesus because he was coming down to the coast from a route that traveled over high ground. Alternate translation: “arrived in”

Note 4 topic: writing-participants

τινας μαθητάς

some disciples

Luke is using the phrase certain disciples to introduce these believers as new participants in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “that there were already some believers in the city”
