Paul explained:
Paul, an apostle and missionary, is addressing a group of disciples in Ephesus. His role as a teacher and leader in the early church is evident as he clarifies theological misunderstandings. This moment reflects Paul's dedication to ensuring that the followers of Christ have a correct understanding of the gospel message.

“John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance.
John the Baptist's ministry was characterized by calling people to repentance, preparing the way for the Messiah. His baptism symbolized a turning away from sin and a readiness to receive the coming Savior. This act of repentance was a crucial step in the spiritual preparation of the Jewish people, as seen inMatthew 3:1-6 andMark 1:4. John's baptism did not impart the Holy Spirit, which distinguishes it from Christian baptism.

He told the people to believe in the One coming after him,
John's role as a forerunner to Christ is emphasized here. He consistently pointed beyond himself to the Messiah, as seen inJohn 1:23 andLuke 3:16. This prophetic role was foretold inIsaiah 40:3 andMalachi 3:1, where a messenger is described as preparing the way for the Lord. John's message was clear: belief in the coming Messiah was essential for salvation.

that is, in Jesus.”
Paul identifies Jesus as the fulfillment of John's prophecy, affirming that Jesus is the awaited Messiah. This declaration aligns with the core Christian belief that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of the world, as stated inJohn 1:29 andActs 4:12. By directing the disciples' faith towards Jesus, Paul ensures that their belief is rooted in the true gospel, which includes the death, resurrection, and lordship of Christ.

What Does Acts 19:4 Mean
John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance

• John’s call was for tangible turning from sin: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near” (Matthew 3:2).

• His baptism pictured cleansing and a changed direction—not merely ritual, but evidence of a heart ready for God (Luke 3:3;Acts 13:24).

• Unlike later Christian baptism, it did not yet proclaim Christ’s finished work or impart the Spirit (cf.Acts 1:4-5); it prepared people to receive those blessings.

• Repentance remains foundational: Peter later echoes John, “Repent and be baptized…for the forgiveness of your sins” (Acts 2:38).

He told the people to believe in the One coming after him

• John knew his role was preparatory: “After me comes One more powerful than I” (Mark 1:7).

• Faith, not mere water, would connect people to salvation (John 1:7).

• His preaching linked repentance to forward-looking trust; turning from sin must be matched by turning toward a Person.

• This directed anticipation kept Israel from clinging to John as the answer; he pointed beyond himself (John 3:30).

That is, in Jesus

• Paul supplies the name that John’s followers still lacked clarity on—“Jesus.”

• Jesus fulfills every facet John announced: the Lamb who removes sin (John 1:29), the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit (John 1:33).

• Belief in Jesus completes what repentance began, bringing forgiveness, new birth, and Spirit-empowered life (Acts 19:5-6;Romans 10:9-10).

• The verse therefore bridges Old Covenant expectation with New Covenant fulfillment, showing there is no saving faith apart from explicit trust in Christ.

summary

Acts 19:4 shows Paul connecting John’s preparatory ministry to its fulfillment in Jesus. John’s water baptism called people to repent; it was never meant to stand alone. True completion comes when that repentant heart believes in the promised One—Jesus—receiving His salvation and Spirit. Repentance clears the way; faith in Christ brings the life.

(4)John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance.--The words may fairly be regarded as giving the summary of what was actually a fuller teaching. The distinctive point in it was that the baptism of John was, by his own declaration, simply provisional and preparatory. He taught his disciples to believe in Jesus, and belief implied obedience, and obedience baptism in His name. It is not without significance that the list of elementary doctrines inHebrews 6:1-4, addressed, we may believe, by Apollos to those who had once been his disciples, includes what those who are now before us might have learnt from him in their spiritual childhood, and that he then passes on to describe the higher state of those who had been "illumined," and had "tasted of the heavenly gift," and been made "partakers of the Holy Ghost" (Hebrews 6:4-6).

Verse 4.- And Paul said forthen said Paul, A.V.;John forJohn verily, A.V. and T.R.;Jesus forChrist Jesus, A.V. and T.R.The baptism of repentance. SeeLuke 3:3, etc., and for the difference between John's baptism and that of Christ,Luke 3:16.Him which should some after him (Luke 3:16;John 3:28;Mark 1:7).
