24While Paul was traveling in Galatia and Phrygia, a Jewish man whose name was Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria city. He spoke eloquently and he knew the Scriptures thoroughly.
24At that time there was a Jewish man called Apollos living in a town called Alexandria. Somebody there taught him some things about Jesus. Then he got up and went to Ephesus. He could talk really good and he knew God’s book properly, and he was happy to teach people about Jesus. He taught them the things he knew, but he didn’t know the whole story about Jesus. He only knew the message John the Baptiser taught to people.
24But a Jew, Apollos by name, a man of Alexandria of kind, a man eloquent (or an eloquent man), came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in (the) scriptures.
