It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples [τινας μαθητὰς]. 2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether [a]there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4 Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. 7 There were in all about twelve men. [ἦσαν δὲ οἱ πάντες ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ δώδεκα.]
Is this a strange way to end the story?
By the way, reader, the number of those guys was TWELVE. Not that that number means anything. I just wanted you to know how many they were. Approximately.
