²⁵ This man had been instructed in ^(A)the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was accurately speaking and teaching things about Jesus, being acquainted only with ^(B)the baptism of John; ²⁶ and ^[a]he began speaking boldly in the synagogue. But when ^(C)Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained ^(D)the way of God more accurately to him. ²⁷ And when he wanted to go across to ^(E)Achaia, ^(F)the brothers encouraged him and wrote to ^(G)the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly ^[b]helped those who had believed through grace, ²⁸ for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating ^(H)by the Scriptures that ^(I)Jesus was the ^[c]Christ.

⁹ But when ^(A)some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of ^[a](B)the Way before the ^[b]people, he withdrew from them and took ^(C)the disciples away with him, and had discussions daily in the school of Tyrannus.

²² But Felix, ^[a]having quite accurate knowledge about ^[b](A)the Way, adjourned them, saying, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.”
