Acts 18:2-20

²And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them;

³And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers.

⁴And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith.

⁵And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

⁶And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles.

⁷And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue.

⁸And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism.

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;
