Contextual Overview

1 Whilst Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having pass'd through the upper provinces of Asia, arrived at Ephesus, where finding some disciples, he said to them, 2 did you receive the holy spirit, when you made profession of your faith? they answer'd, we have not so much as heard of a holy spirit. 3 what baptism then, said he, did you receive? they replied, the baptism of John. 4 upon which Paul said, John indeed administer'd the baptism of repentance, but with this admonition, that they should believe in him, who was to come after, that is, in Jesus the Messias. 5 when they heard this, they were initiated by baptism into the christian profession. 6 and Paul having given them imposition of hands, the holy spirit came upon them, and they spoke foreign languages, and prophesied: 7 the number of them being about twelve.

Cross-References

Acts 17:26
he he has deduced all mankind from one parent, to inhabit the surface of the whole earth, having pre-establish'd the appointed periods, and the boundarys of their dominions:
Romans 1:24
wherefore God abandon'd them to the impure passions of their own hearts, so that they themselves dishonour'd their own bodies;
Jude 1:7
so it was with Sodom, Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, who abandoning themselves to the same licentiousness and abominable passions, were made examples by suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all the men were about twelve. The Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions, have not the word "about"; but affirm, that the men were twelve; and indeed the number being so small, the historian might be at a certainty about it: these seem to be the first materials of a Gospel church at Ephesus, which afterwards was very large and flourishing, and very likely were some of the elders of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And all the men - The whole number.
