Acts 18:8-17

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.
