1 |
After these things
Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
|
|
|
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. |
|
3 |
And because he was
of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation
they were tentmakers. |
|
4 |
And he reasoned in
the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
|
|
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.
|
|
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. |
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
9 |
Then spake the Lord
to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid,
but speak, and hold not thy peace:
|
|
10 |
For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee
to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
|
|
11 |
And he continued
there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
|
|
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,
|
|
13 |
Saying, This fellow
persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
|
|
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: |
|
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.
|
|
16 |
And he drave them
from the judgment seat. |
|
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 |
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.
|
|
19 |
And he came to
Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and
reasoned with the Jews. |
|
20 |
When they desired
him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
|
|
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. |
|
22 |
And when he had
landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to
Antioch.
|
|
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.
|
|
24 |
And a certain Jew
named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the
scriptures, came to Ephesus. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
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: |
|
28 |
For he mightily
convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus
was Christ.
