Acts 18:1–18

After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to ^aCorinth; ²And found a certain Jew named ^bAquila, born in ^cPontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife ^bPriscilla; (because that ^dClaudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. ³And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and ^ewrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. ⁴And he ^freasoned ^gin the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. ⁵And ^hwhen Silas and Timotheus were come from ⁱMacedonia, Paul was ^jpressed in the spirit, and ^ktestified to the Jews that ^lJesus ^||was Christ. ⁶And when they opposed themselves, and ^mblasphemed, ⁿhe shook his raiment, and said unto them, ^oYour blood be upon your own heads; ^pI am clean: ^qfrom henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. ⁷And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, ^rone that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. ⁸And ^sCrispus, the ^tchief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord ^uwith all his house; and many of ^athe Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. ⁹Then ^xspake the Lord to Paul in the night by ^ya vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: ¹⁰For ^zI am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. ¹¹And he ^†continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

^12*And when Gallio was the ^adeputy of ^bAchaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and ^cbrought him to ^dthe judgment seat, ¹³Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to ^ethe law. ¹⁴And when Paul was now about to ^fopen his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked ^glewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should ^hbear with you: ¹⁵ⁱBut if it be a question of words and names, and of ^eyour law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters. ¹⁶And he drave them from ^dthe judgment seat. ¹⁷Then all the Greeks took ^kSosthenes, the ^lchief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before ^dthe judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

¹⁸And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then ^mtook his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into ⁿSyria, and with him ^oPriscilla and ^oAquila; having ^pshorn his head in ^qCenchrea: for he had ^pa vow.
