Deeds (Act) of Apostles 18:11-24

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

¹²But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one will against Paul, and led him to the doom (place), (or and led him to the seat of judgement or the court),

¹³and said, Against the law this (man) counseleth men to worship God.

¹⁴And when Paul began to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If there were any wicked thing, either evil trespass or worst trespass, ye Jews, rightly I should suffer you, (or certainly I would allow you to present your case);

¹⁵but if questions be of the word, and of (the) names of your law, busy yourselves or ye yourselves see; I will not be doomsman of these things (or I will not be the judge of these matters).

¹⁶And he drove them from the doom place.

¹⁷And all took Sosthenes, (the) prince of the synagogue, and smote him before the doom place; and nothing of these was to care to Gallio. (And all the people took hold of Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and beat him there in front of the seat of judgement or the court; but none of this was of any concern to Gallio.)

¹⁸And when Paul had abided many days, he said farewell to (the) brethren, and by boat came to Syria. And Priscilla and Aquila came with him, which had clipped his head in Cenchrea; for he had a vow.

¹⁹And he came to Ephesus, and there he left them (or and he departed from them there); and he went into the synagogue, and disputed with (the) Jews.

²⁰And when they prayed (him), that he should dwell more time (there), he consented not, (And when they beseeched him, that he would spend more time there, he would not agree to it,)

²¹but he made farewell to (the) brethren, and said, It behooveth me to make the solemn day coming at Jerusalem, and (then) again I shall turn again to you, (or and then I shall return to you), if God will or God willing; and he went forth from Ephesus.

²²And he came down to Caesarea, and he went up, and greeted the church, and came down to Antioch.

²³And when he had dwelled there somewhat of time, he went forth, walking by row or walking by order through the country of Galatia, and (then) Phrygia, and confirmed all the disciples.

²⁴But a Jew, Apollos by name, a man of Alexandria of kind, a man eloquent (or an eloquent man), came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in (the) scriptures.
