Acts 18:8-24
-
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.
