Acts 18

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 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 Cæsarea, 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. 25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. 27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: 28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

在哥林多

1 此后，保罗离开雅典，来到哥林多，2 遇见一个生在本都的犹太人，名叫亚居拉。因为革老丢下令所有的犹太人都要离开罗马，所以亚居拉最近同他的妻子百基拉从意大利来了，保罗就去找他们。3 他们是以做帐棚为业的，因为是同业，保罗就与他们同住，一同工作。4 每逢安息日，保罗在会堂辩论，劝导犹太人和希腊人归主。

5 西拉和提摩太从马其顿下来的时候，保罗就专心传扬主的道，向犹太人极力证明耶稣是基督。6 但是他们抗拒、亵渎，保罗就抖着衣服，对他们说："你们的罪你们自己承担，这与我无关。从今以后，我要到外族人那里去了。"7 他离开那里，到了提多．犹士都的家去。这人是敬拜　神的，他的家靠近会堂。8 会堂主管基利司布和他全家都信了主，许多哥林多人也听了道，信了主，而且受了洗。9 夜里，主借着异象对保罗说："不要怕，只管讲，不要闭口！10 有我与你同在，必定没有人会攻击和伤害你，因为在这城里有许多属我的人。"11 保罗在那里住了一年零六个月，把　神的道教导他们。

12 当迦流作亚该亚省长的时候，犹太人一致起来攻击保罗，拉他到审判台前，13 说："这个人劝人不照着律法去敬拜　神。"14 保罗刚要开口，迦流就对犹太人说："犹太人啊，如果有犯法或邪恶的罪行，我当然要耐心听你们；15 但所争论的若是关于字句、名称和你们的律法，你们就应当自己处理。我不愿意审判这件事！"16 于是就把他们从审判台前赶出去。17 众人揪住会堂主管苏提尼，在审判台前打他。这些事迦流一概不理。

结束第二次宣教旅程

18 保罗住了许多日子，然后辞别弟兄们，坐船去叙利亚，同行的有百基拉和亚居拉。他因为许过愿，现在期满了，就在坚革里剃了头发。19 到了以弗所，保罗留他们在那里，自己却到会堂去，跟犹太人辩论。20 众人请他多住些时候，他没有答应，21 却辞别他们说："　神若许可，我还要回到你们这里来。"于是从以弗所开船去了。22 保罗在该撒利亚登岸，上耶路撒冷问候教会，然后下安提阿去。

第三次宣教旅程

23 住了一些时候，他又动身，先后经过加拉太地区和弗吕家，坚固众门徒。

亚波罗在以弗所传道

24 有一个生在亚历山太的犹太人，名叫亚波罗，来到了以弗所。他很有口才，擅长讲解圣经。25 这人在主的道上受过训练，心灵火热，很准确地讲论，并且教导人关于耶稣的事，但他只晓得约翰的洗礼。26 这人在会堂里放胆讲论起来；百基拉和亚居拉听了，就把他接来，把　神的道更准确地向他讲解。27 亚波罗有意要到亚该亚去，弟兄们就鼓励他，又写信请门徒接待他。他到了那里，对那些蒙恩信主的人帮助很多，28 因为他当众有力地驳倒犹太人，引用圣经证明耶稣是基督。
