Acts 18:6-18

6But when they resisted and blasphemed, he 1shook out his garments and said to them, “Your 2blood is 3on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go 4to the Gentiles.” 7Then he left 5the synagogue and went to the house of a man named 6Titius Justus, 7a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. 88Crispus, 9the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord 10together with his entire household; and many of the 11Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, were believing and being baptized. 9And the Lord said to Paul by 12a vision at night, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent; 10for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” 11And he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12But while Gallio was 13proconsul of 14Achaia, 15the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before 16the 17judgment seat, 13saying, “This man is inciting the people to worship God contrary to 18the 19law.” 14But when Paul was about to 20open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or vicious, unscrupulous act, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you; 15but if there are 2122questions about 23teaching and 24persons and your own law, see to it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters.” 16And he drove them away from 25the 26judgment seat. 17But they all took hold of 27Sosthenes, 28the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of 29the judgment seat. And yet Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.

18Now Paul, when he had remained many days longer, 30took leave of 31the brothers and sisters and sailed away to 32Syria, and 33Priscilla and 34Aquila were with him. 35Paul first 36had his hair cut at 37Cenchrea, for he was keeping a vow.
