Acts 18:4-11

⁴And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

⁵Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, solemnly bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

⁶And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his clothes and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

⁷And having gone over from there, he went into the house of a certain man named Justus, who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

⁸And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing and were being baptized.

⁹Now the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision in the night, saying, “Do not fear, but speak, and do not keep silent;

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

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