Acts 18:14-27

¹⁴And when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: If it were some matter of injustice, or an heinous deed, O Jews, I should with reason bear with you.

¹⁵But if they be questions of word and names, and of your law, look you to it: I will not be judge of such things.

¹⁶And he drove them from the judgment seat.

¹⁷And all laying hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the judgment seat; and Gallio cared for none of those things.

¹⁸But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae: for he had a vow.

¹⁹And he came to Ephesus, and left them there. But he himself entering into the synagogue, disputed with the Jews.

²⁰And when they desired him, that he would tarry a longer time, he consented not;

²¹But taking his leave, and saying: I will return to you again, God willing, he departed from Ephesus.

²²And going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and saluted the church, and so came down to Antioch.

²³And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, confirming all the disciples.

²⁴Now a certain Jew, named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, one mighty in the scriptures.

²⁵This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, spoke, and taught diligently the things that are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.

²⁶This man therefore began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Whom when Priscilla and Aquila had heard, they took him to them, and expounded to him the way of the Lord more diligently.

²⁷And whereas he was desirous to go to Achaia, the brethren exhorting, wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, when he was come, helped them much who had believed.
