Acts 18:1-17

In Corinth

After these things he departed ^aAthens and went to ^bCorinth. 2 And he found a Jew named ^aAquila, a native of ^bPontus, and his wife ^aPriscilla, who recently came from ^cItaly because ^dClaudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them, 3 and because he was of the same trade, he was staying with them and ^athey were working, for by trade they were tent-makers. 4 And he was reasoning ^ain the synagogue every ^bSabbath and trying to persuade both ^cJews and Greeks.
5 But when ^aSilas and Timothy ^bcame down from ^cMacedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly ^dbearing witness to the Jews that ^eJesus is the ¹Christ. 6 But when they resisted and blasphemed, he ^ashook out his garments and said to them, “Your ^bblood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go ^cto the Gentiles.” 7 Then he left there and went to the house of a man named ¹Titius Justus, a ^aGod-fearer, whose house was next to the synagogue. 8 ^aAnd Crispus, ^bthe leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord ^cwith all his household, and many of the ^dCorinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized. 9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by ^aa vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent; 10 for I am with you, and no man will lay a hand on you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” 11 And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 But while Gallio was ^aproconsul of ^bAchaia, ^cthe Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before ^dthe judgment seat, 13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to ^athe law.” 14 But when Paul was about to ^aopen his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you; 15 but if there are ^aquestions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I am not willing to be a judge of these matters.” 16 And he drove them away from ^athe judgment seat. 17 And they all took hold of ^aSosthenes, ^bthe leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of ^cthe judgment seat. But Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.
