1While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul left the places in Phrygia and Galatia provinces where he had been visiting, and traveled through Asia province back to Ephesus. He met some people who said that they were believers.
2He asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed God's message?” They answered, “No, we (exc) did not. We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3So Paul asked, “So when you were baptized, what were you showing?” They replied, “ We were showing that we (exc) believed what John the Baptizer taught.”
