1Apollos was at Corinth, and at the same time Paul was visiting places in Phrygia country and Galatia country. Then Paul left those places and went through Asia country, then he went on to the big town called Ephesus. He met some men there that reckoned they were Christians.
2Paul asked them, “Did the Holy Spirit come into you when you believed God’s message?” They said, “No, he didn’t. We don’t know anything about the Holy Spirit. We’ve never heard of him.”
3So Paul asked them, “Who baptised you, and why did he do it?” They said, “John the Baptiser is the one that baptised us, and he did it to show we were sorry for doing wrong.”
