1 After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth."
2 And, finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy, and Priscilla, his wife (because Claudius prescribed that all the Jews depart from Rome), he came to them,
3 and, because of his being of a like trade, he remained with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade."
4 Now he argued in the synagogue on every sabbath and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
5 Now, as both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the word, certifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ."
6 Now at their resisting and blaspheming, shaking out his garments, he said to them, "Your blood be on your head! Clear am I! From now on I shall go to the nations."
7 And, proceeding thence, he entered the house of a certain one named Titus Justus, who is revering God, whose house was adjacent to the synagogue."
8 Now Crispus, the chief of the synagogue, believes the Lord, together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized."
9 Now the Lord said to Paul, in the night, through a vision, "Fear not! but be speaking; and you should not be silent,
10 because I am with you, and no one shall place hands on you to illtreat you, because there are many people of Mine in this city."
11 Now he is seated one year and six months, teaching the word of God among them."
12 Now, Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord assaulted Paul, and they led him to the dais,
13 saying that, "Aside from the law, is this man inducing men to revere God."
14 Now Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If, indeed, it were some injury or wicked knavery, O Jews, I might, on that account tolerate you."
15 Yet if they are questions concerning a word, and names, and a law of yours, you see to it! A judge of these I am not intending to be!"
16 And he drives them away from the dais.
17 Yet they all, getting hold of Sosthenes, the chief of the synagogue, beat him in front of the dais. And Gallio cared for none of these things."
18 Now Paul, remaining still a considerable number of days with the brethren, taking leave, sailed off to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow."
19 Now they arrive at Ephesus and he left them there. Yet he, entering the synagogue, argues with the Jews."
20 Yet at their asking him to stay on more time, he does not consent,
21 but, taking leave and saying, "I shall come back again to you, God willing,he set out from Ephesus."
22 And, coming down into Caesarea, going up and greeting the ecclesia, he descended to Antioch."
23 And, spending some time, he came away, passing consecutively through the Galatian province and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples."
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native Alexandrian, a scholarly man, arrives at Ephesus, being able in the scriptures."
25 He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately what concerns Jesus, being versed only in the baptism of John."
26 Besides, he begins to speak boldly in the synagogue. Now, hearing him, Priscilla and Aquila took him to themselves and expounded the way of God to him more accurately."
27 Now, at his intending to pass through into Achaia, the brethren, promoting it, write to the disciples to welcome him, who, coming along, parleyed much with those who have believed through grace,
28 for he strenuously and thoroughly confuted the Jews in public, exhibiting through the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ."
