Acts 19:3-8

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.”

⁴Paul said, “John baptised people that turned away from doing bad things. But he also told the people to believe in the man that was coming after him. That man is Jesus.”

⁵After those men heard that story they believed in Jesus too, and the Christians baptised them to show that they were following our leader Jesus.

⁶Then Paul put his hands on their heads, and the Holy Spirit came into each one of them. The Holy Spirit gave them the power to talk in different languages, and they also told everyone the messages that the Holy Spirit gave them.

⁷There were about 12 men in that mob.

⁸For the next 3 months, on every Saturday Paul went to the Jewish meeting house in Ephesus, and he talked strongly to the people there. He tried to get them to believe in Jesus and understand the way God takes people into his family.
