They cameto Ephesus,and he leftthem there.Nowhe himselfenteredthe synagogueand reasonedwith the Jews.
but taking leaveof them and saying,"I will returnto you againif Godwills,"he set sailfrom Ephesus.
For Paulhad decidedto sail pastEphesussothat he wouldnot have to spend timein Asia;for he was hurryingto be in Jerusalem,ifpossible,on the dayof Pentecost.
But concerningApollosour brother,I encouragedhim greatlyto cometo you with the brethren;and it was not at all[his] desireto comenow,but he will comewhenhe has opportunity.
