18:1 After
this
Paul
left
Athens
and
went
to
Corinth.
18:2 And
he
found
a
Jew
named
Aquila,
a
native
of
Pontus,
recently
come
from
Italy
with
his
wife
Priscilla,
because
Claudius
had
commanded
all
the
Jews
to
leave
Rome.
And
he
went
to
see
them,
18:3 and
because
he
was
of
the
same
trade
he
stayed
with
them
and
worked,
for
they
were
tentmakers
by
trade.
18:4 And
he
reasoned
in
the
synagogue
every
Sabbath,
and
tried
to
persuade
Jews
and
Greeks.
18:5 When
Silas
and
Timothy
arrived
from
Macedonia,
Paul
was
occupied
with
the
word,
testifying
to
the
Jews
that
the
Christ
was
Jesus.
18:6 And
when
they
opposed
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."
18:7 And
he
left
there
and
went
to
the
house
of
a
man
named
Titius
Justus,
a
worshiper
of
God.
His
house
was
next
door
to
the
synagogue.
18:8 Crispus,
the
ruler
of
the
synagogue,
believed
in
the
Lord,
together
with
his
entire
household.
And
many
of
the
Corinthians
hearing
Paul
believed
and
were
baptized.
18:9 And
the
Lord
said
to
Paul
one
night
in
a
vision,
"Do
not
be
afraid,
but
go
on
speaking
and
do
not
be
silent,
18:10 for
I
am
with
you,
and
no
one
will
attack
you
to
harm
you,
for
I
have
many
in
this
city
who
are
my
people."
18:11 And
he
stayed
a
year
and
six
months,
teaching
the
word
of
God
among
them.
18:12 But
when
Gallio
was
proconsul
of
Achaia,
the
Jews
made
a
united
attack
on
Paul
and
brought
him
before
the
tribunal,
18:13 saying,
"This
man
is
persuading
people
to
worship
God
contrary
to
the
law."
18:14 But
when
Paul
was
about
to
open
his
mouth,
Gallio
said
to
the
Jews,
"If
it
were
a
matter
of
wrongdoing
or
vicious
crime,
O
Jews,
I
would
have
reason
to
accept
your
complaint.
18:15 But
since
it
is
a
matter
of
questions
about
words
and
names
and
your
own
law,
see
to
it
yourselves.
I
refuse
to
be
a
judge
of
these
things."
18:16 And
he
drove
them
from
the
tribunal.
18:17 And
they
all
seized
Sosthenes,
the
ruler
of
the
synagogue,
and
beat
him
in
front
of
the
tribunal.
But
Gallio
paid
no
attention
to
any
of
this.
18:18 After
this,
Paul
stayed
many
days
longer
and
then
took
leave
of
the
brothers
and
set
sail
for
Syria,
and
with
him
Priscilla
and
Aquila.
At
Cenchreae
he
had
cut
his
hair,
for
he
was
under
a
vow.
18:19 And
they
came
to
Ephesus,
and
he
left
them
there,
but
he
himself
went
into
the
synagogue
and
reasoned
with
the
Jews.
18:20 When
they
asked
him
to
stay
for
a
longer
period,
he
declined.
18:21 But
on
taking
leave
of
them
he
said,
"I
will
return
to
you
if
God
wills,"
and
he
set
sail
from
Ephesus.
18:22 When
he
had
landed
at
Caesarea,
he
went
up
and
greeted
the
church,
and
then
went
down
to
Antioch.
18:23 After
spending
some
time
there,
he
departed
and
went
from
one
place
to
the
next
through
the
region
of
Galatia
and
Phrygia,
strengthening
all
the
disciples.
18:24 Now
a
Jew
named
Apollos,
a
native
of
Alexandria,
came
to
Ephesus.
He
was
an
eloquent
man,
competent
in
the
Scriptures.
18:25 He
had
been
instructed
in
the
way
of
the
Lord.
And
being
fervent
in
spirit,
he
spoke
and
taught
accurately
the
things
concerning
Jesus,
though
he
knew
only
the
baptism
of
John.
18:26 He
began
to
speak
boldly
in
the
synagogue,
but
when
Priscilla
and
Aquila
heard
him,
they
took
him
and
explained
to
him
the
way
of
God
more
accurately.
18:27 And
when
he
wished
to
cross
to
Achaia,
the
brothers
encouraged
him
and
wrote
to
the
disciples
to
welcome
him.
When
he
arrived,
he
greatly
helped
those
who
through
grace
had
believed,
18:28 for
he
powerfully
refuted
the
Jews
in
public,
showing
by
the
Scriptures
that
the
Christ
was
Jesus.
