Acts 18:8-24

⁸and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

⁹And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, 'Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;
