Chapter Twenty-One

The Chief

The Third Missionary Journey

Acts 18:23 KJV 23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed,

and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order,

strengthening all the disciples.

Acts 19:1-12 KJV 1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at

Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus:

and finding certain disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the

Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so

much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3 And he said unto them,

Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4

Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance,

saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should

come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were

baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his

hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with

tongues, and prophesied. 7 And all the men were about twelve. 8 And he

went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months,

disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. 9

But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that

way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the

disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 10 And this

continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia

heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. 11 And God

wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: 12 So that from his body

were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases

departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
