Apollos Begins His Ministry
18:24 Now a Jew named Apollos , a native of Alexandria , arrived in Ephesus . He was an eloquent speaker , well-versed in the scriptures .
18:25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord , and with great enthusiasm he spoke and taught accurately the facts about Jesus , although he knew only the baptism of John .
18:26 He began to speak out fearlessly in the synagogue , but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him , they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately .
18:27 When Apollos wanted to cross over to Achaia , the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him . When he arrived , he assisted greatly those who had believed by grace ,
18:28 for he refuted the Jews vigorously in public debate , demonstrating from the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus .
