Moving As The Lord Leads

Acts 19:1-7

While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, 'Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?' They answered, 'No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.' So Paul asked, 'Then what baptism did you receive?' 'John's baptism,' they replied. Paul said, 'John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.' On hearing this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all. (NIVUK)

The Lord had moved Apollos from Egypt to Ephesus (Acts 18:24), before Paul started his missionary journey from Antioch in Syria to Ephesus. By the time Paul arrived, the Lord had moved Apollos on to Corinth - and we assume that Priscilla and Aquila may have moved back to Rome (Acts 18:2) as there is no further mention of them in Ephesus (Romans 16:3). When Paul arrived, he asked the few believers if they had received the Holy Spirit (Acts 11:15; Acts 15:8).
