1. Paul arrives in Ephesus (1-7)

Apollos went to Corinth, and Paul arrived in Ephesus, where he met some disciples of John the Baptist. He taught them the gospel of Jesus and baptized them. The Holy Spirit came on them. God was working in Ephesus.

2. The word of the Lord spread (8-20)

Paul taught in the synagogue for three months. When he was rejected, he taught in a lecture hall for two years. God worked miracles and demonstrated his power by driving out evil spirits so that everyone heard and saw, both Jews and Greeks. Such was the work that men feared the Lord, and the name of Jesus was held in high honor. Those who believed confessed their sins publicly. When Paul taught in Ephesus, the word spread widely and grew in power.
