📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, Paul arrives in Ephesus during his missionary journeys and encounters about twelve disciples who had only been baptized by John the Baptist and were unaware of the Holy Spirit's role in the Christian faith. Paul teaches them about Jesus, baptizes them in His name, and they receive the Holy Spirit, marking a key moment in the spread of early Christianity. This highlights the transition from John's preparatory message to the full gospel of Christ.
