After
these things
Paul
departed
from
Athens
, and came
to
Corinth
;
And found
a certain
Jew
named
Aquila
, born
in Pontus
, lately
come
from
Italy
, with
his
wife
Priscilla
; (because that
Claudius
had commanded
all
Jews
to depart
from
Rome
:) and came
unto them
.
And because
he was
of the same craft
, he abode
with
them
, and
wrought
: for
by their occupation
they were
tentmakers
.
And he reasoned
in
the synagogue
every
sabbath
, and
persuaded
the Jews
and
the Greeks
.
And when
Silas
and
Timotheus
were come
from
Macedonia
, Paul
was pressed
in the spirit
, and testified
to the Jews
that Jesus
was Christ
.
And when they opposed
themselves
, and
blasphemed
, he shook
his raiment
, and said
unto
them
, Your
blood
be upon
your
own heads
; I
am clean
: from
henceforth
I will go
unto
the Gentiles
.
And he departed
thence
, and entered
into
a certain
man's house
, named
Justus
, one that worshipped
God
, whose
house
joined hard
to the synagogue
.
And Crispus
, the chief ruler of the synagogue
, believed
on the Lord
with
all
his
house
; and
many
of the Corinthians
hearing
believed
, and
were baptized
.
Then spake
the Lord
to Paul
in
the night
by
a vision
, Be
not
afraid
, but
speak
, and
hold
not
thy peace
:
For I
am
with
thee
, and
no man
shall set on
thee
to hurt
thee
: for
I
have
much
people
in
this
city
.
And he continued
there a year
and
six
months
, teaching
the word
of God
among
them
.
And when Gallio
was the deputy
of Achaia
, the Jews
made insurrection
with one accord against
Paul
, and
brought
him
to
the judgment seat
,
Saying,
This
fellow persuadeth
men
to worship
God
contrary
to the law
.
And when Paul
was now about
to open
his mouth
, Gallio
said
unto
the Jews
, If
it were
a
matter of wrong
or
wicked
lewdness
, O
ye Jews
, reason
would
that I should bear
with you
:
But if
it be
a question
of
words
and
names
, and
of
your
law
, look ye
to it ; for
I
will be
no
judge
of such
matters .
And he drave
them
from
the judgment seat
.
Then all
the Greeks
took
Sosthenes
, the chief ruler of the synagogue
, and beat
him before
the judgment seat
. And
Gallio
cared
for none
of those things
.
And Paul
after this tarried
there yet
a good
while
, and then took his leave
of the brethren
, and sailed thence
into
Syria
, and
with
him
Priscilla
and
Aquila
; having shorn
his head
in
Cenchrea
: for
he had
a vow
.
And he came
to
Ephesus
, and
left
them there
: but
he himself
entered
into
the synagogue
, and reasoned with
the Jews
.
When they
desired
him to tarry
longer
time
with
them
, he consented
not
;
But bade
them
farewell
, saying
, I
must
by all means
keep
this feast
that cometh
in
Jerusalem
: but
I will return
again
unto
you
, if God
will
. And
he sailed
from
Ephesus
.
And when he had landed
at
Caesarea
, and gone up
, and
saluted
the church
, he went down
to
Antioch
.
And after he had spent
some
time
there , he departed
, and went over
all the country
of Galatia
and
Phrygia
in order
, strengthening
all
the disciples
.
And a certain
Jew
named
Apollos
, born
at Alexandria
, an eloquent
man
, and mighty
in
the scriptures
, came
to
Ephesus
.
This man was
instructed in
the way
of the Lord
; and
being fervent
in the spirit
, he spake
and
taught
diligently
the things of
the Lord
, knowing
only
the baptism
of John
.
And he
began
to speak boldly
in
the synagogue
: whom
when
Aquila
and
Priscilla
had heard
, they took
him
unto them , and
expounded
unto him
the way
of God
more perfectly
.
And when he
was disposed
to pass
into
Achaia
, the brethren
wrote
, exhorting
the disciples
to receive
him
: who
, when he was come
, helped them
much
which had believed
through
grace
:
For he mightily
convinced
the Jews
, and that publickly
, shewing
by
the scriptures
that Jesus
was
Christ
.
