Here's the full text from today's scripture: 19:1 While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul passed through the interior regions and came to Ephesus, where he found some disciples.
19:2 He said to them, ""Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?"" They replied, ""No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.""
19:3 Then he said, ""Into what then were you baptized?"" They answered, ""Into John's baptism.""
19:4 Paul said, ""John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus.""
19:5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
19:6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied--
19:7 altogether there were about twelve of them."
