AC-18:1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came
to
Corinth;
AC-18:2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus,
lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that
Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came
unto
them.
AC-18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with
them,
and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
AC-18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and
persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
AC-18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia,
Paul
was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus
[was] Christ.
AC-18:6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he
shook
[his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own
heads; I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
AC-18:7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain
[man's]
house, named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house
joined
hard to the synagogue.
AC-18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed
on
the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing
believed, and were baptized.
AC-18:9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be
not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
AC-18:10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to
hurt
thee: for I have much people in this city.
AC-18:11 And he continued [there] a year and six months,
teaching
the word of God among them.
AC-18:12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made
insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the
judgment seat,
AC-18:13 Saying, This [fellow] persuadeth men to worship God
contrary to the law.
AC-18:14 And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio
said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked
lewdness,
O [ye] Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
AC-18:15 But if it be a question of words and names, and [of]
your
law, look ye [to it]; for I will be no judge of such [matters].
AC-18:16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
AC-18:17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of
the
synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment seat. And Gallio
cared
for none of those things.
AC-18:18 And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while,
and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into
Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his]
head in
Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
AC-18:19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he
himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
AC-18:20 When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them,
he
consented not;
AC-18:21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means
keep
this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto
you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
AC-18:22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and
saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
AC-18:23 And after he had spent some time [there], he departed,
and
went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order,
strengthening all the disciples.
AC-18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an
eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
AC-18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and
being
fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things
of
the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
AC-18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom
when
Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto [them], and
expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
AC-18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the
brethren
wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was
come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
AC-18:28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that]
publicly,
showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
