 18:1  After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came
to Corinth;
 18:2  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.
 18:3  And because he was of the same craft, he abode with
them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were
tentmakers.
 18:4  And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and
persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
 18:5  And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia,
Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews
[that] Jesus [was] Christ.
 18:6  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.
 18:7  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.
 18:8  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.
 18:9  Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be
not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
 18:10  For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to
hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
 18:11  And he continued [there] a year and six months,
teaching the word of God among them.
 18:12  And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made
insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to
the judgment seat,
 18:13  Saying, This [fellow] persuadeth men to worship God
contrary to the law.
 18:14  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:
 18:15  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].
 18:16  And he drave them from the judgment seat.
 18:17  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.
 18:18  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.
 18:19  And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he
himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
 18:20  When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them,
he consented not;
 18:21  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.
 18:22  And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and
saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
 18:23  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.
 18:24  And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an
eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
 18:25  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.
 18:26  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.
 18:27  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:
 18:28  For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that]
publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
