Acts 18:6-28

6But when they resistedG498 and blasphemedG987, he 1shookG1621 outG1621 his garmentsG2440 and saidG3004 to them, “Your 2bloodG129 is 3on your own headsG2776! I am cleanG2513. From nowG3568 on I will goG4198 4to the GentilesG1484.” 7ThenG2532 he leftG3327 5the synagogue and wentG2064 to the houseG3614 of a manG5100 namedG3686 6TitiusG5102 JustusG2459, 7a worshiperG4576 of GodG2316, whoseG3739 houseG3614 was nextG4927 doorG4927 to the synagogueG4864. 88CrispusG2921, 9the leaderG752 ofG752 theG752 synagogueG752, believedG4100 in the LordG2962 10togetherG4862 withG4862 his entireG3650 householdG3624; and manyG4183 of the 11CorinthiansG2881, as they listenedG191 to Paul, were believingG4100 and being baptizedG907. 9And the LordG2962 saidG3004 to PaulG3972 by 12a 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 13proconsulG446 of 14AchaiaG882, 15the JewsG2453 roseG2721 upG2721 togetherG3661 againstG2721 PaulG3972 and broughtG71 him beforeG1909 16the 17judgmentG968 seatG968, 13sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 is incitingG374 the peopleG444 to worshipG4576 GodG2316 contraryG3844 to 18the 19lawG3551.” 14But when PaulG3972 wasG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 20openG455 his mouthG4750, GallioG1058 saidG3004 to the JewsG2453, “IfG1487 it were a matter of someG5100 crimeG92 orG2228 viciousG4190, unscrupulousG4467 actG4467, OG5599 JewsG2453, it would be reasonableG3056 for me to putG430 upG430 with you; 15but ifG1487 there are 2122questionsG2213 aboutG4012 23teachingG3056 and 24personsG3686 and your own lawG3551, seeG3708 toG3708 it yourselvesG846; I amG1014 unwillingG3756G1014 to be a judgeG2923 of theseG3778 matters.” 16And he droveG556 them awayG556 from 25the 26judgmentG968 seatG968. 17But they allG3956 tookG1949 holdG1949 of 27SosthenesG4988, 28the leaderG752 ofG752 theG752 synagogueG752, and began beatingG5180 him in frontG1715 of 29the judgmentG968 seatG968. And yet GallioG1058 was not concernedG3199 aboutG3199 anyG3762 of theseG3778 thingsG3778.

18Now PaulG3972, when he had remainedG4357 manyG2425 daysG2250 longerG2089, 30tookG657 leaveG657 of 31the brothersG80 and sisters and sailedG1602 awayG1602 to 32SyriaG4947, and 33PriscillaG4251 and 34AquilaG207 were with him. 35Paul first 36had his hairG2776 cutG2751 at 37CenchreaG2747, for he was keepingG2192 a vowG2171. 19They cameG2658 to 38EphesusG2181, and he leftG2641 them thereG847. NowG1161 he himselfG846 enteredG1525 39the synagogueG4864 and reasonedG1256 with the JewsG2453. 20When they askedG2065 him to stayG3306 for a longerG4183 timeG5550, he did not consentG1962, 21but 40tookG657 leaveG657 of them and saidG3004, “I will returnG344 to you againG3825 41if GodG2316 willsG2309,” and he setG321 sailG321 from 42EphesusG2181.

22When he had landedG2718 in 43CaesareaG2542, he wentG305 upG305 to Jerusalem and greetedG782 the churchG1577, and wentG2597 downG2597 to 44AntiochG490. 23And after spendingG4160 someG5100 timeG5550 there, he leftG1831 and passedG1330 successivelyG2517 throughG1330 the 45GalatianG1054 regionG5561 and PhrygiaG5435, strengtheningG4741 allG3956 the disciplesG3101.

24NowG1161 a JewG2453 namedG3686 46ApollosG625, an 47AlexandrianG221 by birthG1085, 48an eloquentG3052 manG435, cameG2658 to 49EphesusG2181; and he was proficientG1415 in the ScripturesG1124. 25ThisG3778 manG3778 had beenG1510 instructedG2727 in 50the wayG3598 of the LordG2962; and beingG2204 ferventG2204 in spiritG4151, he was accuratelyG199 speakingG2980 and teachingG1321 things aboutG4012 JesusG2424, beingG1987 acquaintedG1987 onlyG3440 with 51the baptismG908 of JohnG2491; 26and 52he beganG757 speakingG3955 boldlyG3955 in the synagogueG4864. But when 53PriscillaG4251 and AquilaG207 heardG191 him, they tookG4355 him asideG4355 and explainedG1620 54the wayG3598 of GodG2316 moreG199 accuratelyG199 to him. 27And when he wantedG1014 to goG1330 acrossG1330 to 55AchaiaG882, 56the brothersG80 encouragedG4389 him and wroteG1125 to 57the disciplesG3101 to welcomeG588 him; and when he had arrivedG3854, he greatlyG4183 58helpedG4820 thoseG3588 who had believedG4100 throughG1223 graceG5485, 28for he powerfullyG2159 refutedG1246 the JewsG2453 in publicG1219, demonstratingG1925 59by the ScripturesG1124 that 60JesusG2424 was the 61ChristG5547.
