1 After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth,
2 And found a certaine Iewe named Aquila, borne in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because that Claudius had commanded all Iewes to depart from Rome) and came vnto them.
3 And because hee was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought (for by their occupation they were tentmakers.)
4 And hee reasoned in the Synagogue euery Sabbath, and perswaded the Iewes, and the Greekes.
5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Iewes, that Iesus was Christ.
6 And when they opposed themselues, and blasphemed, he shooke his raiment, and said vnto them, Your blood be vpon your owne heads, I am cleane: from henceforth I will goe vnto the Gentiles.
7 ¶ And hee departed thence, and entred into a certaine mans house, named Iustus, one that worshipped God, whose house ioyned hard to the Synagogue.
8 And Crispus, the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, beleeued on the Lord, with all his house: and many of the Corinthians, hearing, beleeued, and were baptized.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speake, and holde not thy peace:
10 For I am with thee, and no man shal set on thee, to hurt thee: for I haue much people in this city.
11 And hee continued there a yeere and sixe monethes, teaching the word of God among them.
12 ¶ And when Gallio was the Deputie of Achaia, the Iewes made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the iudgement seat,
13 Saying, This fellow perswadeth men to worship God contrary to the Law.
14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said vnto the Iewes, If it were a matter of wrong, or wicked lewdnesse, O yee Iewes, reason would that I should beare with you.
15 But if it be a question of words, and names, and of your law, looke ye to it: for I wil be no iudge of such matters.
16 And he draue them from the iudgment seate.
17 Then all the Greekes tooke Sosthenes the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, and beat him before the Iudgement seat: and Gallio cared for none of those things.
