Paul goes to Ephesus and finds a group that had been baptized by John the Baptist but had not remained in the Holy Land long enough to hear about Jesus. So he baptizes them in the name of Jesus. He also spoke in the synagogue and soon had many followers, but some opposition too. So he began teaching them in a school for two years (v.10). Verse 10b makes an amazing statement: "...so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks." The population at the time is estimated at about 2 million people. How many people do you think Paul personally talked to in those two years? 100 people? 1,000? 5,000? So who reached the rest? The book of Colossians gives us some clues: Paul never went to Colossae, a town about 150 kilometers (100 miles) from Ephesus (Colossians 2:1, 2). One of the "students" at the school where Paul taught every day was Epaphras, who was from Colossae (Colossians 4:12). Paul did not lead him to Christ but we think Timothy, Paul’s protege, did. "Epaphras shared the gospel and started the church in Colossae: Colossians 1:5-8 - "In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, and who also told us of your love in the Spirit."
