The Acts of the Apostles   19: 1-8

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.
