18:18 Paul, after staying ¹  many more days in Corinth, ²  said farewell to ³  the brothers and sailed away to Syria accompanied by ⁴  Priscilla and Aquila. ⁵  He ⁶  had his hair cut off ⁷  at Cenchrea ⁸  because he had made a vow. ⁹  18:19 When they reached Ephesus, ¹⁰  Paul ¹¹  left Priscilla and Aquila ¹²  behind there, but he himself went ¹³  into the synagogue ¹⁴  and addressed ¹⁵  the Jews. 18:20 When they asked him to stay longer, he would not consent, ¹⁶  18:21 but said farewell to ¹⁷  them and added, ¹⁸  “I will come back ¹⁹  to you again if God wills.” ²⁰  Then ²¹  he set sail from Ephesus, 18:22 and when he arrived ²²  at Caesarea, ²³  he went up and greeted ²⁴  the church at Jerusalem ²⁵  and then went down to Antioch. ²⁶  18:23 After he spent ²⁷  some time there, Paul left and went through the region of Galatia ²⁸  and Phrygia, ²⁹  strengthening all the disciples.

18:24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus. ³⁰  He was an eloquent speaker, ³¹  well-versed ³²  in the scriptures. 18:25 He had been instructed in ³³  the way of the Lord, and with great enthusiasm ³⁴  he spoke and taught accurately the facts ³⁵  about Jesus, although he knew ³⁶  only the baptism of John. 18:26 He began to speak out fearlessly ³⁷  in the synagogue, ³⁸  but when Priscilla and Aquila ³⁹  heard him, they took him aside ⁴⁰  and explained the way of God to him more accurately. 18:27 When Apollos ⁴¹  wanted to cross over to Achaia, ⁴²  the brothers encouraged ⁴³  him ⁴⁴  and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he ⁴⁵  assisted greatly those who had believed by grace,
