1. While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul was visiting some places on the way to Ephesus. There he found some followers.
2. Paul asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”They said, “We have never even heard of a Holy Spirit!”
3. So he asked, “What kind of baptism did you have?”They said, “It was the baptism that John taught.”
4. Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of changed hearts and lives. He told people to believe in the One who would come after him. That One is Jesus.”
13-14. But some Jews also were traveling around and making evil spirits go out of people. The seven sons of Sceva were doing this. (Sceva was a leading Jewish priest.) These Jews tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus to force the evil spirits out. They would say, “By the same Jesus that Paul talks about, I order you to come out!”
