Act 18:14

Act 18:14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;

Act 18:15

Act 18:15but if there are questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters.”
