“And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having
Passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain
Disciples, He said unto them, ‘Have ye received the Holy Ghost since
Ye believed?’ And they said unto him, ‘We have not so much as
Heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.’ And he said unto them,
‘Unto what then were ye baptized?’ And they said , ‘Unto John’s
Baptism.’ Then said Paul, ‘John verily baptized with the baptism of
24
Repentance, Saying unto the people, that they should believe on him
Which should Come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.’ When they
Heard this, they Were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And
When Paul had laid His hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on
Them; and they spake With tongues, and prophesied. And all the men
Were about twelve.”
“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but he that cometh
After me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he
Shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit [pneuma hagion] and with
Fire:”
“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets
And teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and
Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with
Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. As they ministered to the Lord and
Fasted, the Holy Ghost said, ‘Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the
Work whereunto I have called them.’ And when they had fasted and
Prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So they,
26
Being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Selucia; and from
Thence they sailed to Cyprus.” Acts 13:1-4
