Acts 18:1-12

1AfterG3326 theseG3778 events Paul leftG5563 1AthensG116 and wentG2064 to 2CorinthG2882. 2And he foundG2147 a JewG2453 namedG3686 3AquilaG207, a nativeG1085 of 4PontusG4193 having recentlyG4373 comeG2064 from 5ItalyG2482 with his wifeG1135 6PriscillaG4251, becauseG1223 7ClaudiusG2804 had commandedG1299 allG3956 the JewsG2453 to leaveG5563 RomeG4516. He cameG4334 to them, 3and becauseG1223 he was of the sameG3673 tradeG3673 he stayedG3306 with them, and 8they workedG2038 together, for they were tent-makersG4635 by tradeG5078. 4And Paul was reasoningG1256 9in the synagogueG4864 everyG3956 10SabbathG4521 and trying to persuadeG3982 11JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672.

5But whenG5613 12SilasG4609 and TimothyG5095 13cameG2718 downG2718 from 14MacedoniaG3109, PaulG3972 began devotingG4912 himself completelyG4912 to the wordG3056, 15testifyingG1263 to the JewsG2453 that 16JesusG2424 was the 17ChristG5547. 6But when they resistedG498 and blasphemedG987, he 18shookG1621 outG1621 his garmentsG2440 and saidG3004 to them, “Your 19bloodG129 is 20on your own headsG2776! I am cleanG2513. From nowG3568 on I will goG4198 21to the GentilesG1484.” 7ThenG2532 he leftG3327 22the synagogue and wentG2064 to the houseG3614 of a manG5100 namedG3686 23TitiusG5102 JustusG2459, 24a worshiperG4576 of GodG2316, whoseG3739 houseG3614 was nextG4927 doorG4927 to the synagogueG4864. 825CrispusG2921, 26the leaderG752 ofG752 theG752 synagogueG752, believedG4100 in the LordG2962 27togetherG4862 withG4862 his entireG3650 householdG3624; and manyG4183 of the 28CorinthiansG2881, as they listenedG191 to Paul, were believingG4100 and being baptizedG907. 9And the LordG2962 saidG3004 to PaulG3972 by 29a visionG3705 at nightG3571, “Do not beG5399 afraidG5399 any longer, but go on speakingG2980 and do not be silentG4623; 10for I amG1510 with you, and noG3762 oneG3762 will attackG2007 you to harmG2559 you, for I have manyG4183 peopleG2992 in thisG3778 cityG4172.” 11And he settledG2523 there for a yearG1763 and sixG1803 monthsG3376, teachingG1321 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 amongG1722 them.

12But while GallioG1058 was 30proconsulG446 of 31AchaiaG882, 32the JewsG2453 roseG2721 upG2721 togetherG3661 againstG2721 PaulG3972 and broughtG71 him beforeG1909 33the 34judgmentG968 seatG968,
