Acts 18 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Act 18:1After these things Sha'ul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Act 18:2He found a certain Yehudi named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Yehudim to depart from Rome. He came to them,
Act 18:3and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Act 18:4He reasoned in the synagogue every Shabbat, and persuaded Yehudim and Yevanim.
Act 18:5But when Sila and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Sha'ul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Yehudim that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Act 18:6When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Goyim!"
Act 18:7He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Act 18:8Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were immersed.
Act 18:9The Lord said to Sha'ul in the night by a vision, "Don't be afraid, but speak and don't be silent;
Act 18:10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
Act 18:11He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Act 18:12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Yehudim with one accord rose up against Sha'ul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Act 18:13saying, "This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."
Act 18:14But when Sha'ul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Yehudim, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Yehudim, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
Act 18:15but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don't want to be a judge of these matters."
Act 18:16He drove them from the judgment seat.
Act 18:17Then all the Yevanim laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn't care about any of these things.
Act 18:18Sha'ul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Aram, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Act 18:19He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Yehudim.
Act 18:20When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Act 18:21but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Yerushalayim, but I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
Act 18:22When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.

Third Missionary Journey

Act 18:23Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the talmidim.
Act 18:24Now a certain Yehudi named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Act 18:25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Yeshua, although he knew only the immersion of Yochanan.
Act 18:26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Act 18:27When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the talmidim to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
Act 18:28for he powerfully refuted the Yehudim, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Yeshua was the Messiah.
