Acts 18:9-14

⁹One night Paul had like a dream, and our leader said to him, “Don’t be afraid but keep on telling people about me, Jesus. Don’t stop talking about me.

¹⁰I am with you, and nobody will attack you and hurt you. I’ve got a lot of people in this town.”

¹¹So Paul stayed in Corinth for one and a half years, teaching God’s word to people.

¹²Later a man called Gallio became the new Roman boss of that country called Achaia. The Jewish leaders agreed together about what they wanted to do, then they grabbed Paul and took him to the courtroom of that new boss. They blamed Paul,

¹³and told the boss, “This man is teaching people wrong. He is telling them to break our Jewish law. He is telling them the wrong way to show respect for God.”

¹⁴Then Paul got up to talk, but Gallio said, “Wait.” And he said to the Jews, “I will not listen to you mob. If this man did something bad, or if he broke our Roman law, then I will listen to you.
