Acts 18:9-13

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 among 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.
