44_ACT_18_01 after These things Paul departed from Athens , And came to Corinth ;
44_ACT_18_02 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 .
44_ACT_18_03 And because he was of the same craft , he abode with them , And wrought : for by their occupation they were tentmakers .
44_ACT_18_04 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath , And persuaded the Jews And the Greeks .
44_ACT_18_05 And when Silas And Timotheus were come from Macedonia , Paul was pressed in the spirit , And testified to the Jews [ that ] Jesus [ was ] Christ .
44_ACT_18_06 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 .
44_ACT_18_07 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 .
44_ACT_18_08 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 .
44_ACT_18_09 Then spake the LORD to Paul in the night by A vision , be not afraid , but speak , And hold not thy peace :
44_ACT_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 .
44_ACT_18_11 And he continued [ there ] A year And six months , teaching the word of God among them .
44_ACT_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 ,
44_ACT_18_13 saying , this [ fellow ] persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law .
44_ACT_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 :
44_ACT_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 ] .
44_ACT_18_16 And he drave them from the judgment seat .
44_ACT_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 .
44_ACT_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 .
44_ACT_18_19 And he came to Ephesus , And left them there : but he himself entered into the synagogue , And reasoned with the Jews .
44_ACT_18_20 when they desired [ him ] to tarry longer time with them , he consented not ;
44_ACT_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 .
44_ACT_18_22 And when he had landed at Caesarea , And gone up , And saluted the church , he went down to Antioch .
44_ACT_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 .
44_ACT_18_24 And A certain Jew named Apollos , born at Alexandria , an eloquent man , [ And ] mighty in the scriptures , came to Ephesus .
44_ACT_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 .
44_ACT_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 .
44_ACT_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 :
44_ACT_18_28 for he mightily convinced the Jews , [ And that ] publicly , showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ .
