Contextual Meaning

The purpose of this pericope ( Acts 18:24-28) seems primarily to be to bring us up to date on what had transpired in Ephesus since Paul left that city. [1] Luke also introduced his readers to another important servant of the Lord to whom Paul referred elsewhere ( 1 Corinthians 1:12; 1 Corinthians 3:4-6; 1 Corinthians 3:22; 1 Corinthians 4:6; 1 Corinthians 16:12; Titus 3:13).
