Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and
came to Corinth;
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.
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode
with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they
were tentmakers.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath,
and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
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.
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.
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.
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.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a
vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy
peace:
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee
to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
11 And he continued there a year and six months,
teaching the word of God among them.
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,
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God
contrary to the law.
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:
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.
16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
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.
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.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but
he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned
with the Jews.
20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with
them, he consented not;
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.
22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up,
and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
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.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at
Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the
scriptures, came to Ephesus.
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.
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.
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:
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that
publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was
Christ.
