A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
Paul said to the disciples in Ephesus,
“Did you receive the Holy spirit when you became believers?” They replied, “No, we have not even heard
that there is a Holy Spirit.” Then he
said, “Into what then were you baptized?”
They answered, “Into John’s baptism.”
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.” On hearing this, they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
