Acts 18:12-18
12But while GallioG1058 was 1proconsulG446 of 2AchaiaG882, 3the JewsG2453 with oneG3661 accordG3661 roseG2721 up againstG2721 PaulG3972 and broughtG71 him beforeG1909 4the judgmentG968 seatG968, 13sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 persuadesG374 menG444 to worshipG4576 GodG2316 contraryG3844 to 5the lawG3551.” 14But when PaulG3972 was aboutG3195 to 6openG455 his mouthG4750, GallioG1058 saidG3004 to the JewsG2453, “IfG1487 it were a matterG5100 of wrongG92 orG2228 of viciousG4190 crimeG4467, OG5599 JewsG2453, it would be reasonableG3056 for me to putG430 up with you; 15but ifG1487 there are 7questionsG2213 aboutG4012 wordsG3056 and namesG3686 and your own lawG3551, lookG3708 afterG3708 it yourselvesG846; I amG1014 unwillingG3756G1014 to be a judgeG2923 of theseG3778 matters.” 16And he droveG556 them awayG556 from 8the judgmentG968 seatG968. 17And they allG3956 tookG1949 holdG1949 of 9SosthenesG4988, 10the leaderG752 of the synagogueG752, and began beatingG5180 him in frontG1715 of 11the judgmentG968 seatG968. But GallioG1058 was not concernedG3199 about anyG3762 of theseG3778 thingsG3778.
18PaulG3972, having remainedG4357 manyG2425 daysG2250 longerG2089, 12tookG657 leaveG657 of 13the brethrenG80 and putG1602 out to seaG1602 for 14SyriaG4947, and with him were 15PriscillaG4251 and 16AquilaG207. In 17CenchreaG2747 18he 19had his hairG2776 cutG2751, for he was keepingG2192 a vowG2171.
