Acts 18:19 KJV
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Thee is, from this passage through a portion of the next chapter, a unique relationship between Apostle Paul and Apollos. Though the Bible does not say they actually met together, Paul was in Ephesus briefly and, realizing that there was an open door for the Gospel there, desired to return. While he was away Apollos began preaching there. His message was not complete, but it was sincere and it was corrected as soon as he heard the "way of God more perfectly." Apollos then leaves for Corinth, where Paul had previously ministered and Paul comes to Ephesus where he is able to perfect some of the work of Apollos there, and build a much larger work as well.
Paul was able later to say
1 Corinthians 3:6 KJV
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
What a joy it is when preachers of God's Word are able to compliment and work together for the glory of the Lord!
