18:24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus. ⁴  He was an eloquent speaker, ⁵  well-versed ⁶  in the scriptures. 18:25 He had been instructed in ⁷  the way of the Lord, and with great enthusiasm ⁸  he spoke and taught accurately the facts ⁹  about Jesus, although he knew ¹⁰  only the baptism of John. 18:26 He began to speak out fearlessly ¹¹  in the synagogue, ¹²  but when Priscilla and Aquila ¹³  heard him, they took him aside ¹⁴  and explained the way of God to him more accurately. 18:27 When Apollos ¹⁵  wanted to cross over to Achaia, ¹⁶  the brothers encouraged ¹⁷  him ¹⁸  and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he ¹⁹  assisted greatly those who had believed by grace, 18:28 for he refuted the Jews vigorously ²⁰  in public debate, ²¹  demonstrating from the scriptures that the Christ ²²  was Jesus. ²³
