Acts 18:8-28

8But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised. 9And the Lord said by vision in [the] night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent; 10because I am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city. 11And he remained [there] a year and six months, teaching among them the word of 1God. 12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat, 13saying, This [man] persuades men to worship 2God contrary to the law. 14But as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne with you; 15but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; [for] I do not intend to be judge of these things. 16And he drove them from the judgment-seat. 17And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about none of these things. 18And Paul, having yet stayed [there] many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow; 19and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews. 20And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time [with them] he did not accede, 21but bade them farewell, saying, [I must by all means keep the coming feast at Jerusalem]; I will return to you again, if 3God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus. 22And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch. 23And having stayed [there] some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples. 24But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus. 25He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. 26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to [them] and unfolded to him the way of 4God more exactly. 27And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace. 28For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
