1 After these things Paul went out of Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 And he found a man, a Jew, Aquila by name, of Pontus by kind, that late came from Italy, and Priscilla, his wife, for that Claudius commanded all Jews to depart from Rome; and he came to them.
3 And for that he was of the same craft, he dwelled with them, and wrought; and they were of rope-makers craft, [or tent-makers craft, that is, to make coverings to travelling men].
4 And he disputed in the synagogue by each sabbath, putting among the name of the Lord Jesus; and he counselled Jews and Greeks.
5 And when Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul gave busyness to the word, and witnessed to the Jews, that Jesus is Christ.
6 But when they gainsaid and blasphemed, he shook away [or shook off] his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be on your head; I shall be clean from henceforth, and I shall go to heathen men.
7 And he passed from thence, and entered into the house of a just man, Titus by name, that worshipped God, whose house was joined to the synagogue.
8 And Crispus, prince of the syna-gogue, believed to the Lord, with all his house. And many of the Corinthians heard, and believed, and were christened.
9 And the Lord said by night to Paul by a vision, Do not thou dread, but speak, and be not still;
10 for I am with thee, and no man shall be put to thee to annoy thee, for much people is to me in this city.
11 And he dwelled there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
