He asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” “No,” they answered, “we have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
In context
1While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior regions and came down to Ephesus, where he found some disciples. 2He asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” “No,” they answered, “we have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3“Into what, then, were you baptized?” he asked. “Into John’s baptism,” they said. 4Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was coming after him — that is, in Jesus.”
