18. And Sha’ul, having stayed several days more, having taken leave of the brothers, was sailing for Syria, and Priscilla and Aqulas were with him, having shaved his hair at Kenḥrea, for he had taken a vow.
19. And he came to Ephesos, and left them there, but he himself went into the congregation and reasoned with the Yehuḏim.
20. And when they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he declined,
21. but took leave of them, saying, “I have to keep this coming festival in Yerushalayim by all means, but I shall come back to you, Elohim desiring so.” And he sailed from Ephesos.
22. And having come to Caesarea, going up and greeting the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
23. And having spent some time there, he went forth, passing through the country of Galatia and on through Phrygia, strengthening all the taught ones.
24. And a certain Yehuḏite named Apollos, born at Alexandria, a learned man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesos.
25. This one had been instructed in the way of the Master. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching the matters about the Master exactly, though he knew only the immersion of Yoḥanan.
26. And he began to speak boldly in the congregation. And when Aqulas and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of Elohim more exactly.
27. And when he intended to pass through to Achaia, the brothers, having encouraged him, wrote to the taught ones to receive him, who, having arrived, greatly helped those who believed through favour,
28. for with power he refuted the Yehuḏim publicly, showing from the Scriptures that יהושע is the Messiah.
