Acts 18:1-12

NSB(i) 1 After this Paul left Athens to go to Corinth. 2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus who is currently from Italy with his wife Priscilla. Claudius commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. So he came to them. 3 He was of the same trade as Paul. So he stayed with them and worked at their tentmaker trade. 4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks. 5 Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia. He witnessed to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. 6 When they opposed Paul and treated him abusively he shook out his garment and said to them: »Your blood is upon your own heads. I am clean. From now on I will go to the people of the nations.« 7 He left the synagogue and went next door to the house of a man named Titus Justus, one who worshiped God. 8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord and so did his household. Many of the Corinthians who heard and believed were baptized. 9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision: »Do not be afraid, but speak. Do not keep silent! 10 »I am with you and no man will harm you. I have many people in this city.« 11 He lived there a year and six months teaching the word of God to them. 12 When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
