Chapter 12—Apollos at Corinth After leaving Corinth, Paul’s next scene of labor was at Ephesus. He was on his way to Jerusalem to celebrate the approaching festival; and his stay at Ephesus was necessarily brief. He reasoned with the Jews in the synagogue, and produced so favorable an impression that he was entreated to continue his labors among them. His plan to visit Jerusalem prevented him from tarrying; but he promised to labor with them on his return. He had been accompanied to Ephesus by Aquila and Priscilla, and he now left them to carry forward the good work which he had begun. {LP 118.1}

Efter at have forladt Korint, var Paulus næste arbejdscene i Efesus. Han var på vej til Jerusalem for at fejre den kommende højtid, og hans ophold i Efesus blev nødvendigvis kort. Han talte fornuftigt med jøderne i synagogen, og gav et så godt indtryk at han blev bedt om at fortsætte sit arbejde iblandt dem. Hans plan var at besøge Jerusalem forhindrede ham i at blive der, men han lovede at arbejde hos dem når han kom tilbage. På vej til Efesus blev han ledsaget af Akvila og Priska, og han forlod dem nu for at fortsætte det gode arbejde som han havde påbegyndt.
