AC-18:1  After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

AC-18:2  And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from

Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews

to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

AC-18:3  And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought:

for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

AC-18:4  And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews

and the Greeks.

AC-18:5  And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was

pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ.

AC-18:6  And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his]

raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I [am] clean:

from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

AC-18:7  And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man's] house,

named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the

synagogue.

AC-18:8  And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord

with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were

baptized.

AC-18:9  Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid,

but speak, and hold not thy peace:

AC-18:10  For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I

have much people in this city.

AC-18:11  And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of

God among them.

AC-18:12  And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection

with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

AC-18:13  Saying, This [fellow] persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the

law.

AC-18:14  And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said unto the

Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O [ye] Jews, reason

would that I should bear with you:

AC-18:15  But if it be a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look

ye [to it]; for I will be no judge of such [matters].

AC-18:16  And he drave them from the judgment seat.

AC-18:17  Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue,

and beat [him] before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those

things.

AC-18:18  And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and then took

his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla

and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

AC-18:19  And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered

into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

AC-18:20  When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented

not;

AC-18:21  But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast

that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he

sailed from Ephesus.

AC-18:22  And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the

church, he went down to Antioch.

AC-18:23  And after he had spent some time [there], he departed, and went over

[all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the

disciples.

AC-18:24  And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man,

[and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

AC-18:25  This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in

the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only

the baptism of John.

AC-18:26  And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and

Priscilla had heard, they took him unto [them], and expounded unto him the way

of God more perfectly.

AC-18:27  And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote,

exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much

which had believed through grace:

AC-18:28  For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by

the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
