Acts 18:11-22

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

¹²But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat,

¹³Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law.

¹⁴But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing:

¹⁵But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.

¹⁶And he sent them away from the judge's seat.

¹⁷And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.

¹⁸And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.

¹⁹And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

²⁰And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No;

²¹And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.

²²And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch.
