19:1	Now it happened that, while Apollo was at Corinth, Paul, after he had journeyed through the upper regions, arrived at Ephesus. And he met with certain disciples.
19:2	And he said to them, “After believing, have you received the Holy Spirit?” But they said to him, “We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
19:3	Yet truly, he said, “Then with what have you been baptized?” And they said, “With the baptism of John.”
19:4	Then Paul said: “John baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying that they should believe in the One who is to come after him, that is, in Jesus.”
19:5	Upon hearing these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
19:6	And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came over them. And they were speaking in tongues and prophesying.
19:7	Now the men were about twelve in all.
19:8	Then, upon entering the synagogue, he was speaking faithfully for three months, disputing and persuading them about the kingdom of God.

16:29	His disciples said to him: “Behold, now you are speaking plainly and not reciting a proverb.
16:30	Now we know that you know all things, and that you have no need for anyone to question you. By this, we believe that you went forth from God.”
16:31	Jesus answered them: “Do you believe now?
16:32	Behold, the hour is coming, and it has now arrived, when you will be scattered, each one on his own, and you will leave me behind, alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
16:33	These things I have spoken to you, so that you may have peace in me. In the world, you will have difficulties. But have confidence: I have overcome the world.”
