Paul at Corinth

1 After these things he left aAthens and went to bCorinth.

2 And he found a Jew named aAquila, a native of bPontus, having recently come from cItaly with his wife aPriscilla, because dClaudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,

3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed 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 cJews and Greeks.

5 But when aSilas and Timothy bcame down from cMacedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly dtestifying to the Jews that eJesus was 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, aa worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.

8 aCrispus, 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.
