In Corinth
1 Now after these things, having departed from Athens, Paul came to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with Priscilla his wife (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them, 3 and because he was of the same trade, he remained with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
5 Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, solemnly bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. 6 And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his clothes and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." 7 And having gone over from there, he went into the house of a certain man named Justus, who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing and were being baptized.
9 Now the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision in the night, saying, "Do not fear, but speak, and do not keep silent; 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city." 11 And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
