Acts 18:1-13

¹After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

²And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome,) he came to them;

³and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and worked; for they were tent-makers by trade.

⁴And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath, and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

⁵And when both Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was wholly engaged in the word, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ.

⁶And when they set themselves against him, and reviled, he shook his garments, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean; from this time I will go to the gentiles.

⁷And he departed thence, and went to the house of a certain man, named Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was very near the synagogue.

⁸And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians upon hearing believed, and were baptized.

⁹And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent;

¹⁰for I am with thee, and no one shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.

¹¹And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

¹²And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat,

¹³saying, This man persuadeth people to worship God contrary to the law.
