Deeds (Act) of Apostles 18:4-22

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

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

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, prince of the syna-gogue, believed to the Lord, with all his house. And many of the Corinthians heard, and believed, and were christened.

⁹And the Lord said by night to Paul by a vision, Do not thou dread, but speak, and be not still;

¹⁰for I am with thee, and no man shall be put to thee to annoy thee, for much people is to 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,

¹³and said, Against the law this 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 or worst trespass, ye Jews, rightly I should suffer you;

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

¹⁶And he drove them from the doom place.

¹⁷And all took Sosthenes, prince of the synagogue, and smote him before the doom place; and nothing of these was to care to Gallio.

¹⁸And when Paul had abided many days, he said farewell to 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; and he went into the synagogue, and disputed with Jews.

²⁰And when they prayed, that he should dwell more time, he consented not,

²¹but he made farewell to brethren, and said, It behooveth me to make the solemn day coming at Jerusalem, and again I shall turn again 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.
