2 and founde a certayne Iewe named Aquila, borne in Ponthus, lately come from Italie with his wyfe Priscilla (because that the Emperour Claudius had commaunded all Iewes to departe from Rome) and he drew vnto them,
3 because he was of the same crafte, he abode with them, & wrought: theyr crafte was to make tentes.

6 And when they sayde contrary & blasphemed he shoke hys rayment and sayde vnto them: youre bloude be vpon youre awne heedes: from hence forth wyll I go blamelesse vnto the gentyls.

10 for I am with the, & noman shall inuade the that shall hurte the. For I haue moch people in this cytie.
11 And he continued there a yeare and syxe monethes, and taught them the worde of God.
