Acts 18:2-10

²There he met a Jew of the name of Aquila, from Pontus, who, with his wife Priscilla, had lately come from Italy, in consequence of the order which had been issued by the Emperor Claudius for all Jews to leave Rome. Paul paid them a visit,

³and, since their trade was the same as his, he stayed and worked with them — their trade was tent-making.

⁴Every Sabbath Paul gave addresses in the synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks.

⁵But, when Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to delivering the message, earnestly maintaining before the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

⁶However, as they set themselves against him and became abusive, Paul shook his clothes in protest and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads. My conscience is clear. From this time forward I will go to the Gentiles.”

⁷So he left, and went to the house of a certain Titius Justus, who had been accustomed to join in the worship of God, and whose house was next door to the synagogue.

⁸Crispus, the synagogue leader, came to believe in the Lord, and so did all his household; and many of the Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, became believers in Christ and were baptised.

⁹One night the Lord said to Paul, in a vision, “Have no fear, but continue to speak, and refuse to be silenced;

¹⁰for I am with you, and no one will do you harm, for I have many people in this city.”
