18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
“instructed”
18:28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
“that Jesus”
