Contextual Overview

1 AND it came to pass, that while Apol''los was at Cor''inth, Paul traveled through the northern countries and came to Eph''e-sus, and inquired of the disciples whom he found there, 2 Have you received the Holy Spirit since you were converted? They answered and said to him, We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. 3 Then he said to them, By what baptism then were you baptized? They said, By the baptism of John. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying unto them that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, Jesus Christ. 5 When they heard these things, they were baptized in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ. 6 And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in divers tongues, and prophesied. 7 And there were in all twelve persons.

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.
