1 After this, Paul left Athensand went to Corinth. 2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italywith his wife Priscillabecause Claudiushad 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 Silasand Timothycame down from Macedonia, Pauldevoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesusis 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,18:7 ECM; SBL, NE, and WH Titius Justus; BYZ and TR Justusa worshiper of God. 8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthianswho heard the message believed and were baptized.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paulin 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.
Paul before Gallio
12 While Galliowas proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Pauland 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 Paulwas about to speak, Galliotold 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 crowd18:17 Literally they all; BYZ and TR all the Greeksseized Sosthenesthe synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
Paul Returns to Antioch
18 Paulremained in Corinthfor quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchreato keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscillaand Aquila.
19 When they reached Ephesus, Paul left 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 back18:21 BYZ and TR I must by all means keep this feast that comes in Jerusalem, but I will come backto 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.18:22 Literally he went up and greeted the churchThen he went down to Antioch.
Paul’s Third Missionary Journey Begins
23 After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatiaand 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,18:25 BYZ and TR about the Lordthough he knew only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscillaand Aquilaheard him, they took him aside 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 Jesusis the Christ.
