1

Afterg3326 theseg3778 thingsg3778 he leftg5563  aAthensg116 and wentg2064 to  bCorinthg2882.

2

And he foundg2147 a Jewg2453 namedg3686  aAquilag207, a nativeg1085 of  bPontusg4193, having recentlyg4373 comeg2064 from  cItalyg2482 with his wifeg1135  aPriscillag4251, becauseg1223  dClaudiusg2804 had commandedg1299 allg3956 the Jewsg2453 to leaveg5563 Romeg4516. He cameg4334 to them,

3

and becauseg1223 he was of the sameg3673 tradeg3673, he stayedg3306 with them and  athey were workingg2038b, for by tradeg5078 they were tent-makersg4635.

4

And he was reasoningg1256  ain the synagogueg4864 everyg3956  bSabbathg4521 and trying to persuadeg3982  cJewsg2453 and Greeksg1672.

5

But wheng5613  aSilasg4609 and Timothyg5095  bcameg2718 downg2718 from  cMacedoniag3109, Paulg3972 began devotingg4912 himself completelyg4912 to the wordg3056, solemnlyg1263  dtestifyingg1263 to the Jewsg2453 that  eJesusg2424 was the  1Christg5547.

6

But when they resistedg498 and blasphemedg987, he  ashookg1621 out his garmentsg2440 and saidg3004 to them, "Your  bbloodg129 be on your own headsg2776! I am cleang2513. From nowg3568 on I will gog4198  cto the Gentilesg1484."

7

Theng2532 he leftg3327 thereg1564 and wentg2064 to the houseg3614 of a mang5100 namedg3686  1Titiusg5102a Justusg2459,  aa worshiperg4576 of Godg2316, whoseg3739 houseg3614 was nextg4927 to the synagogueg4864.

8

 aCrispusg2921,  bthe leaderg752 of the synagogueg752, believedg4100 in the Lordg2962  cwith allg3650 his householdg3624, and manyg4183 of the  dCorinthiansg2881 when they heardg191 were believingg4100 and being baptizedg907.

9

And the Lordg2962 saidg3004 to Paulg3972 in the nightg3571 by  aa visiong3705, "Do not be afraidg5399 any longer, but go on speakingg2980 and do not be silentg4623;

10

for I amg1510 with you, and nog3762 mang3762 will attackg2007 you in order to harmg2559 you, for I have manyg4183 peopleg2992 in thisg3778 cityg4172."

11

And he settledg2523 there a yearg1763 and sixg1803 monthsg3376, teachingg1321 the wordg3056 of Godg2316 amongg1722 them.

12

But while Galliog1058 was  aproconsulg446 of  bAchaiag882,  cthe Jewsg2453 with oneg3661 accordg3661 roseg2721b up againstg2721b Paulg3972 and broughtg71 him beforeg1909  dthe judgmentg968 seatg968,

13

sayingg3004, "Thisg3778 mang3778 persuadesg374a meng444 to worshipg4576 Godg2316 contraryg3844 to  athe lawg3551."

14

But when Paulg3972 was aboutg3195 to  aopeng455 his mouthg4750, Galliog1058 saidg3004 to the Jewsg2453, "Ifg1487 it were a matterg5100 of wrongg92 org2228 of viciousg4190 crimeg4467, Og5599 Jewsg2453, it would be reasonableg3056 for me to putg430 up with you;

15

but ifg1487 there are  aquestionsg2213 aboutg4012 wordsg3056 and namesg3686 and your own lawg3551, lookg3708 afterg3708 it yourselvesg846; I amg1014 unwillingg3756g1014 to be a judgeg2923 of theseg3778 matters."

16

And he droveg556 them awayg556 from  athe judgmentg968 seatg968.

17

And they allg3956 tookg1949 holdg1949 of  aSosthenesg4988,  bthe leaderg752 of the synagogueg752, and began beatingg5180 him in frontg1715 of  cthe judgmentg968 seatg968. But Galliog1058 was not concernedg3199 about anyg3762 of theseg3778 thingsg3778.

18

Paulg3972, having remainedg4357 manyg2425 daysg2250 longerg2089,  atookg657 leaveg657 of  bthe brethreng80 and putg1602 out to seag1602 for  cSyriag4947, and with him were  dPriscillag4251 and  dAquilag207. In  eCenchreag2747  1he  fhad his hairg2776 cutg2751, for he was keepingg2192 a vowg2171.

19

They cameg2658 to  aEphesusg2181, and he leftg2641 them thereg847. Nowg1161 he himselfg846 enteredg1525  bthe synagogueg4864 and reasonedg1256 with the Jewsg2453.

20

When they askedg2065 him to stayg3306 for a longerg4183 timeg5550, he did not consentg1962,

21

but  atakingg657 leaveg657 of them and sayingg3004, "I will returng344 to you againg3825  bif Godg2316 willsg2309," he setg321 sailg321 from  cEphesusg2181.

22

When he had landedg2718 at  aCaesareag2542, he wentg305 up and greetedg782 the churchg1577, and wentg2597 downg2597 to  bAntiochg490.

Third Missionary Journey

23

And having spentg4160 someg5100 timeg5550 there, he leftg1831 and passedg1330 successivelyg2517 throughg1330 the  aGalatiang1054 regiong5561 and Phrygiag5435, strengtheningg4741 allg3956 the disciplesg3101.

24

Nowg1161 a Jewg2453 namedg3686  aApollosg625, an  bAlexandriang221 by birthg1085,  1an eloquentg3052 mang435, cameg2658 to  cEphesusg2181; and he was mightyg1415 in the Scripturesg1124.

25

Thisg3778 mang3778 had beeng1510 instructedg2727 in  athe wayg3598 of the Lordg2962; and beingg2204 ferventg2204 in spiritg4151, he was speakingg2980 and teachingg1321 accuratelyg199 the things concerningg4012 Jesusg2424, beingg1987 acquaintedg1987 onlyg3440 with  bthe baptismg908 of Johng2491;

26

and  1he begang757 to speakg3955 out boldlyg3955 in the synagogueg4864. But when  aPriscillag4251 and Aquilag207 heardg191 him, they tookg4355 him asideg4355 and explainedg1620 to him  bthe wayg3598 of Godg2316 moreg199 accuratelyg199.

27

And when he wantedg1014 to gog1330 acrossg1330 to  aAchaiag882,  bthe brethreng80 encouragedg4389 him and wroteg1125 to  cthe disciplesg3101 to welcomeg588 him; and when he had arrivedg3854, he greatlyg4183  1helpedg4820 thoseg3588 who had believedg4100 throughg1223 graceg5485,

28

for he powerfullyg2159 refutedg1246 the Jewsg2453 in publicg1219, demonstratingg1925  aby the Scripturesg1124 that  bJesusg2424 was the  1Christg5547.
