Deeds (Act) of Apostles 18:4-19

⁴And he disputed in the synagogue by each sabbath, putting among (them) the name of the Lord Jesus; and he counselled (the) Jews and Greeks.

⁵And when Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul gave busyness to the word, and witnessed to the Jews, that Jesus is Christ, (or and testified to the Jews, that Jesus is the Messiah).

⁶But when they gainsaid and blasphemed, he shook away his clothes, or he shook off his clothes, (or he shook out his clothes), and said to them, Your blood be on your head; I shall be clean from henceforth, and I shall go to (the) heathen men (or to the Gentiles).

⁷And he passed from thence, and entered into the house of a just man, Titus by name, that worshipped God, whose house was joined to the synagogue.

⁸And Crispus, (the) prince of the synagogue, believed to the Lord, with all his house. And many of the Corinthians heard, and believed, and were christened. (And Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And many of the Corinthians heard, and believed, and were baptized.)

⁹And the Lord said by night to Paul by a vision, Do not thou dread, but speak, and be not still; (And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, Do not fear, or Fear not, but continue to speak, and do not be silent;)

¹⁰for I am with thee, and no man shall be put to thee to harm thee, for much people is to me in this city (or for many people be with me in this city).

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.
