Léctio Actuum Apostolórum (18,23-28)
Facto Antochíæ aliquánto témpore, proféctus est Paulus perámbulans ex órdine Galáticam regiónem et Phrýgiam, confírmans omnes discípulos. Iudǽus autem quidam Apóllo nómine, Alexándrinus natióne, vir éloquens, devénit Ephésum, potens in Scriptúris. Hic erat catechizátus viam Dómini; et fervens spíritu loquebátur et docébat diligénter ea, quæ sunt de Iésu, sciens tantum baptísma Ioánnis. Hic ergo cœpit fiduciáliter ágere in synagóga; quem cum audíssent Priscílla et Áquila, assumpsérunt eum et diligéntius exposuérunt ei viam Dei. Cum autem vellet transíre in Achaíam, exhortáti fratres scripsérunt discípulis, ut suscíperent eum; qui cum venísset, cóntulit multum his, qui credíderant per grátiam; veheménter enim Iudǽos revincébat públice, osténdens per Scriptúras esse Christum Iésum.
Having tarried in Antoch a certain time, he departed, walking in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the Disciples. And a certain Jew, named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, mighty in the Scriptures. This man was taught the way of our Lord: and being fervent in spirit he spake, & taught diligently those things that pertain to Jesus, knowing only the Baptism of John. This man therefore began to deal confidently in the Synagogue. Whom when Priscilla and Aquila had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded to him the way of our Lord more diligently. And whereas he was desirous to go to Achaia, the brethren exhorting wrote to the Disciples to receive him. Who, when he was come, profited them much that had believed. For he with vehemency convinced the Jews openly, shewing by the scriptures, that Jesus is Christ.
