Apollos Speaks Boldly in Ephesus

Acts 18

²⁴ _w Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. ²⁵ This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being _x fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, _y though he knew only the baptism of John. ²⁶ So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. ²⁷ And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, _z he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; ²⁸ for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, _a showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
