After briefly passing through Ephesus, where he promises to return (18:21), Luke reports that Paul traveled to Caesarea, the main port of Palestine, with intentions of visiting the mother church in Jerusalem. Paul then goes back to Ephesus and stays there for two years and three months. For three months, he preached in the synagogue, but the Jews rejected him. Not finding the synagogue a suitable place to teach “the way,” Paul instead preaches in the school of Tyrannus. Luke notes that “all the inhabitants of Asia, Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord” (10). Paul completes training the twelve leaders of the movement, baptizes them, and they receive the Holy Spirit. Luke highlights the Spirit’s victory over all aspects of Paul’s evangelization.
