Acts 18:5-13

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.”

¹¹So he settled there for a year and a half, and taught God's message amongst the people.

¹²While Gallio was governor of Greece, some of the Jewish leaders made a combined attack on Paul, and brought him before the Governor's Bench,

¹³charging him with persuading people to worship God in a way forbidden by the Law.
