Act 18:1And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,
Act 18:2and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife -- because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome -- he came to them,
Act 18:3and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft;
Act 18:4and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Act 18:5And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;
Act 18:6and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken his garments, he said unto them, 'Your blood is upon your head -- I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.'
Act 18:7And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,
Act 18:8and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.
Act 18:9And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, 'Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;
Act 18:10because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'
Act 18:11and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
Act 18:12And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal,
Act 18:13saying -- 'Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;'
Act 18:14and Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, 'If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,
Act 18:15but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves to it, for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,'
Act 18:16and he drave them from the tribunal;
Act 18:17and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating him before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.
Act 18:18And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria -- and with him are Priscilla and Aquilas -- having shorn his head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;
Act 18:19and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews:
Act 18:20and they having requested him to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,
Act 18:21but took leave of them, saying, 'It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you -- God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus,
Act 18:22and having come down to Cesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

Third Missionary Journey

Act 18:23And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Act 18:24And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus,
Act 18:25this one was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John;
Act 18:26this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to them, and did more exactly expound to him the way of God,
Act 18:27and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace,
Act 18:28for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
