1 After and these things having withdrawn the Paul from the Athens, came into Corinth.
2 And having found a certain Jew by name Aquila, Pontus by the race, recently having come from the Italy, and Priscilla wife of him, (because the to have commanded Claudius to withdraw all the Jews from the Rome,) he went to them;
3 and because the same trade to be, he remained with them; and worked; they were for tentmakers the trade.
4 He reasoned and in the synagogue during every sabbath, persuaded and Jews and Greeks.
5 When but came down from the Macedonia the both Silas and the Timothy, was confirmed to the word the Paul, earnestly testifying to the Jews the Anointed Jesus.
6 Resisting but them and blaspheming, having shaken the mantles, he said to them: The blood of you on the head of you, pure I, from the now to the Gentiles I will go.
7 And having removed thence, he went into a house of one by name Justus, worshipping the God, of whom the house was adjoining to the synagogue.
8 Crispus but the synagogueruler believed in the Lord with whole the house of himself; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were dipped;
9 said and the Lord through a vision by night to the Paul: Not fear, but speak and no be silent;
10 because I am with thee, and no one shall attack thee of the to hurt thee; because people is for me much in the city this.
11 He continued and a year and months six, teaching among them the word of the God.
12 Gallio and being proconsul of the Achaia, rushed with one mind the Jews to the Paul, and led him to the tribunal,
13 saying: That from the law this persuades the men to worship the God.
14 being about but the Paul to open the mouth, said the Gallio to the Jews: If indeed therefore it was injustice any, or reckless evil, O Jews, according to reason I would hear with you;
15 if but a question it is about a word and names and of a law of that with you, you will see yourselves; a judge for I of these not choose to be.
16 And he drove them from the tribunal.
17 Having taken hold and all the Greeks of Sosthenes the synagogueruler, they struck before the tribunal; and nothing of these the Gallio cared.
18 The and Paul yet having remained days many, to the brethren having bid farewell, sailed out into the Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shaved the head in Cenchrea; he had for a vow.
19 He came and to Ephesus, and them he left there; he but having entered into the synagogue, reasoned with the Jews.
20 Asking and them for longer a time to remain with them, not he consented;
21 but he bade farewell to them, saying: It behooves me by all means the feast that coming to keep into Jerusalem; again but I will return to you, the God will. And he sailed from the Ephesus;
22 and having gone down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch.
23 And having spent time some, he went out, passing through in order, the Galatia country and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples.
24 A Jew and certain Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by the birth, a man eloquent, came to Ephesus powerful being in the writings.
25 This was having been instructed the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning the Lord, being acquainted with only the dipping of John.
26 This and began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Having heard and of him Aquila and Priscilla, took him, and more accurately to him explained the of the God way.
27 Wishing and of him to pass through into the Achaia, having exhorted the brethren they wrote to the disciples to receive him; who having arrived, he helped much those having believed through the grace.
28 Strenuously for with the Jews he was discussing publicly, proving by the writings, to be the Anointed Jesus.
1 After this Paul left Athens to go to Corinth.
2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus who is currently from Italy with his wife Priscilla. Claudius commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. So he came to them.
3 He was of the same trade as Paul. So he stayed with them and worked at their tentmaker trade.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia. He witnessed to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 When they opposed Paul and treated him abusively he shook out his garment and said to them: »Your blood is upon your own heads. I am clean. From now on I will go to the people of the nations.«
7 He left the synagogue and went next door to the house of a man named Titus Justus, one who worshiped God.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord and so did his household. Many of the Corinthians who heard and believed were baptized.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision: »Do not be afraid, but speak. Do not keep silent!
10 »I am with you and no man will harm you. I have many people in this city.«
11 He lived there a year and six months teaching the word of God to them.
12 When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
13 They said: »This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.«
14 Paul was about to speak when Gallio said to the Jews: »If you Jews were about to complain about some crime it would be reasonable for me to listen to you.
15 »But it involves questions about words and names in your own law so look to it yourselves. I will not be judge of these matters.«
16 He drove them from the court.
17 They all grabbed Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the court. Gallio did not care about this.
18 Paul stayed many days. Then he left the brothers and sailed for Syria. Also with Paul were Priscilla and Aquila. Paul clipped this hair short in Cenchreae because of a vow.
19 They traveled to Ephesus where he left them. Paul entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 When they asked him to stay longer he declined.
21 »I will return again to you if it is Gods will,« Paul said. Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 When he landed at Caesarea, he greeted the congregation and traveled to Antioch.
23 After spending some time there he departed through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia strengthening all the disciples.
24 A Jew named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was an Alexandrian who had a comprehensive knowledge of the scriptures and spoke eloquently.
25 This man had been instructed in Gods way. Being fervent in spirit he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 He spoke boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him home and explained Gods word more accurately.
27 When he decided to travel to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him. They wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he arrived he was a great help to those who by grace believed.
28 He powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
