To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The early history of the church of Ephesus is as well known as is that of any of the primitive communities. First came Apollos (Acts xviii. 24). preaching not Christianity but the baptism of John, a ^Messianic sect that later partly merged in the Christian but, as we know from allusions in the Gospel of John, still flourished at Ephesus as a separate body in the second century. These Ephesian Baptists have left us a precious document in the Odes of Solomon.' It is quite probable that the Fragme
...nts of a Zadokite Work recently discovered, are by the same sect, though from a different com- munity." In the year ?2 Paul came to Ephesus (Acts xvii. 19 : xix. 1) and converted some of the Disciples of John. Now the writer of the Letters to the Seven Churches (which may date from the reign of Xero though the Apocalypse as a whole took form in the last decade of the first century), writes from the Jewish-Christian standpoint. He abominates Paul as the bringer-in of heathen mys- teries.' The allusion in this letter to Ephesus to "those which say they are apostles and are not" can only refer to Paul, as he was the only one outside of the Twelve and Matthias who, as far as we know, ever took this designation.
