Acts 18:12-28

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.

¹⁴And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some act of injustice or wicked misdeed, O Jews, with reason I should bear with you;

¹⁵but if it be questions of doctrine, and names, and your law, look to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of these matters.

¹⁶And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

¹⁷But they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat; and Gallio cared for none of these things.

¹⁸And Paul, having stayed many days longer, took leave of the brethren, and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

¹⁹And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

²⁰And when they asked him to stay longer, he consented not;

²¹but having taken leave of them, saying, I will return to you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

²²And having landed at Caesarea and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

²³And after he had spent some time there, he departed, going through the Galatian country and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

²⁴And a certain Jew, named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

²⁵This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught correctly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.

²⁶And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But Aquila and Priscilla having heard him, took him to them, and set forth to him the way of the Lord more fully.

²⁷And when he wished to go over into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to give him welcome; and when he was come, he gave much aid to those who had believed through grace.

²⁸For he publicly confuted the Jews, with power, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
