Acts 18:5-17

5But whenG5613 1SilasG4609 and TimothyG5095 2cameG2718 downG2718 from 3MacedoniaG3109, PaulG3972 began devotingG4912 himself completelyG4912 to the wordG3056, solemnlyG1263 4testifyingG1263 to the JewsG2453 that 5JesusG2424 was the 6ChristG5547. 6But when they resistedG498 and blasphemedG987, he 7shookG1621 out his garmentsG2440 and saidG3004 to them, “Your 8bloodG129 be on your own headsG2776! I am cleanG2513. From nowG3568 on I will goG4198 9to the GentilesG1484.” 7ThenG2532 he leftG3327 thereG1564 and wentG2064 to the houseG3614 of a manG5100 namedG3686 10TitiusG5102 JustusG2459, 11a worshiperG4576 of GodG2316, whoseG3739 houseG3614 was nextG4927 to the synagogueG4864. 812CrispusG2921, 13the leaderG752 of the synagogueG752, believedG4100 in the LordG2962 14with allG3650 his householdG3624, and manyG4183 of the 15CorinthiansG2881 when they heardG191 were believingG4100 and being baptizedG907. 9And the LordG2962 saidG3004 to PaulG3972 in the nightG3571 by 16a visionG3705, “Do not be afraidG5399 any longer, but go on speakingG2980 and do not be silentG4623; 10for I amG1510 with you, and noG3762 manG3762 will attackG2007 you in order to harmG2559 you, for I have manyG4183 peopleG2992 in thisG3778 cityG4172.” 11And he settledG2523 there a yearG1763 and sixG1803 monthsG3376, teachingG1321 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 amongG1722 them.

12But while GallioG1058 was 17proconsulG446 of 18AchaiaG882, 19the JewsG2453 with oneG3661 accordG3661 roseG2721 up againstG2721 PaulG3972 and broughtG71 him beforeG1909 20the judgmentG968 seatG968, 13sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 persuadesG374 menG444 to worshipG4576 GodG2316 contraryG3844 to 21the lawG3551.” 14But when PaulG3972 was aboutG3195 to 22openG455 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 23questionsG2213 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 24the judgmentG968 seatG968. 17And they allG3956 tookG1949 holdG1949 of 25SosthenesG4988, 26the leaderG752 of the synagogueG752, and began beatingG5180 him in frontG1715 of 27the judgmentG968 seatG968. But GallioG1058 was not concernedG3199 about anyG3762 of theseG3778 thingsG3778.
