Contextual Overview

1 And it came to pass, that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper region, came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples, 2 He said to them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit. 3 And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard [this], they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in languages, and prophesied. 7 And all the men were about twelve.

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.
