Acts 19:1-6 KJV
[1] And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, [2] He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. [3] And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. [4] Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ 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 Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
John the Baptist confessed that he must decrease and his earthly cousin Jesus Christ must increase. John was beheaded for confronting Herod’s adultery. “No greater prophet”, Jesus validated the ministry of John as the voice crying in the wilderness making the path straight. But the least in the kingdom of God are greater than John because of the Holy Ghost received since they believed.
