181After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;+2And 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.+3And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.+4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.+5And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews
that Jesus
was
Christ.+6And 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.+7And he departed thence, and entered into a certain
man’s house, named Justus,
one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.+8And 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.+9Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision,
Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:+10For I 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.+
Paul before Gallio
12And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,+13Saying, This
fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.+14And 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:+15But 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.+16And he drave them from the judgment seat.+17Then 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.+
Paul Returns to Antioch
18And 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.+19And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.+20When they desired
him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;+21But 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.+22And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.+
23And 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.+24And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man,
and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.+25This 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.+26And 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.+27And 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:+28For he mightily convinced the Jews,
and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.+
