Apostlenes gjerninger 18,27

25 Han hadde fått undervisning i Herrens lære og, brennende i ånden, talte og underviste nøyaktig om Jesus, selv om han bare kjente til Johannes' dåp.

26 Han begynte å tale frimodig i synagogen. Da Priskilla og Akvilas hørte ham, tok de ham til side og forklarte Guds vei for ham mer nøyaktig.

Da Apollos ønsket å dra over til Akaia, oppmuntret brødrene ham og skrev til disiplene om å ta imot ham. Ved hans ankomst hjalp han stort dem som hadde kommet til troen ved nåde,

28 for han tilbakeviste jødene kraftig i offentlig debatt, og viste gjennom Skriftene at Jesus var Kristus.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
