"Apollos demonstrated by the Scriptures that Christ is Jesus"
A Reading from the book of Acts of the Apostles (18, 23-28)
After spending some time in Antioch, Paul left. He successively traveled through the Galatian country and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Now, a Jew named Apollos, originally from Alexandria, had just arrived in Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, versed in the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the Path of the Lord; in the fervor of the Spirit, he spoke and taught with precision what concerns Jesus, but, as baptism, he knew only that of John the Baptist. So he began to speak confidently in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him with greater precision the Path of God. As Apollos wanted to go to Greece, the brothers encouraged him there, and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he rendered great service to those who had become believers by the grace of God. Indeed, with vigor he publicly refuted the Jews, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Christ is Jesus.
The Word of the Lord.
