1 -After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 -There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
3 -and he stayed and worked with them because they were tentmakers by trade, just as he was.
4 -Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
5 -And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6 -But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 -So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
8 -Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.
9 -One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.
10 -For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”
11 -So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.
12 -While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
13 -“This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
14 -But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
15 -But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
16 -And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
17 -At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
18 -Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
19 -When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
20 -When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
21 -But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.
22 -When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.
23 -After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24 -Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.
25 -He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
26 -And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him in and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 -When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
28 -For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
