Acts 18:6-19

⁶And when they set themselves against him, and reviled, he shook his garments, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean; from this time I will go to the gentiles.

⁷And he departed thence, and went to the house of a certain man, named Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was very near the synagogue.

⁸And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians upon hearing believed, and were baptized.

⁹And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent;

¹⁰for I am with thee, and no one shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.

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

¹²And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat,

¹³saying, This man persuadeth people to worship God contrary to the law.

¹⁴And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some act of injustice or wicked misdeed, O Jews, with reason I should bear with you;

¹⁵but if it be questions of doctrine, and names, and your law, look to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of these matters.

¹⁶And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

¹⁷But they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat; and Gallio cared for none of these things.

¹⁸And Paul, having stayed many days longer, took leave of the brethren, and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

¹⁹And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
