Acts 18:1-17 — In Corinth

Acts.18.1-17

¹After these things, he left Athens and came to Corinth. ²There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome; and he went to them. ³Because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. ⁴Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks. ⁵When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. ⁶But when they opposed him and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads. I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” ⁷So he left there and entered the house of a man named Titius Justus , who worshiped God; his house was next door to the synagogue. ⁸Crispus, the synagogue leader, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized. ⁹And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not be silent, ¹⁰for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city." ¹¹And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. ¹²But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat, ¹³saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.” ¹⁴But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were some wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to put up with you. ¹⁵But if they are questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I do not wish to be a judge of these things." ¹⁶And he drove them away from the judgment seat. ¹⁷Then they all seized Sosthenes, the synagogue leader , and kept beating him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.
