1AfterG3326 these thingsG3778 PaulG3588G3972 departedG5563 fromG1537 AthensG116, and cameG2064 toG1519 CorinthG2882; 2AndG2532 foundG2147 a certainG5100 JewG2453 namedG3686 AquilaG207, bornG3588G1085 in PontusG4193, latelyG4373 comeG2064 fromG575 ItalyG3588G2482, withG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 PriscillaG4252; (because thatG1223 ClaudiusG2804 had commandedG1299 allG3956 JewsG2453 to departG5563 fromG1537 RomeG3588G4516:) and cameG4334 unto themG846. 3AndG2532 becauseG1510 he wasG1510 of the same craftG3673, he abodeG3306 withG3844 themG846, andG2532 wroughtG2038: forG1063 by their occupationG3588G5078 they were tentmakersG4635. 4AndG1161 he reasonedG1256 inG1722 the synagogueG3588G4864 everyG3956 sabbathG4521, andG5037 persuadedG3982 the JewsG2453 andG2532 the GreeksG1672. 5AndG1161 whenG5613 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimothyG3588G5095 were comeG2718 fromG575 MacedoniaG3588G3109, PaulG3588G3972 was pressedG4912 in the spiritG3588G4151, and testifiedG1263 to the JewsG2453 that JesusG2424 was ChristG3588G5547. 6AndG1161 when they opposedG498 themselvesG846, andG2532 blasphemedG987, he shookG1621 his raimentG3588G2440, and saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, YourG4771 bloodG3588G129 be uponG1909 your ownG4771 headsG3588G2776; IG1473 am cleanG2513: fromG575 henceforthG3568 I will goG4198 untoG1519 the GentilesG3588G1484.

7AndG2532 he departedG3327 thenceG1564, and enteredG2064 intoG1519 a certainG5100 man’s houseG3614, namedG3686 JustusG2459, one thatG3739 worshippedG4576 GodG3588G2316, whoseG3588 houseG3614 joined hard toG4927 the synagogueG3588G4864. 8AndG1161 CrispusG2921, the chief ruler of the synagogueG3588G752, believedG4100 on the LordG3588G2962 withG4862 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3588G3624; andG2532 manyG4183 of the CorinthiansG2881 hearingG191 believedG4100, andG2532 were baptizedG907. 9ThenG1161 spakeG3004 the LordG3588G2962 to PaulG3588G3972 inG1722 the nightG3571 byG1223 a visionG3705, BeG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399, butG235 speakG2980, andG2532 holdG4623 notG3361 thy peaceG4623: 10ForG1360 IG1473 amG1510 withG3326 theeG4771, andG2532 no manG3762 shall setG2007 on theeG4771 to hurtG2559 theeG4771: forG1360 IG1473 haveG1510 muchG4183 peopleG2992 inG1722 thisG3778 cityG3588G4172. 11AndG5037 he continuedG2523 there a yearG1763 andG2532 sixG1803 monthsG3376, teachingG1321 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 amongG1722 themG846. 12

AndG1161 when GallioG1058 was the deputyG445 of AchaiaG3588G882, the JewsG2453 made insurrectionG2721 with one accordG3661 against PaulG3588G3972, andG2532 broughtG71 himG846 toG1909 the judgment seatG3588G968, 13SayingG3004, ThisG3778 fellow persuadethG374 menG3588G444 to worshipG4576 GodG3588G2316 contrary toG3844 the lawG3588G3551. 14AndG1161 when PaulG3588G3972 was now aboutG3195 to openG455 his mouthG3588G4750, GallioG3588G1058 saidG3004 untoG4314 the JewsG3588G2453, IfG1487 it wereG1510 a matterG5100 of wrongG92 orG2228 wickedG4190 lewdnessG4467, OG5599 ye JewsG2453, reasonG3056 would thatG2596 I should bearG430 with youG4771: 15ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG1510 a questionG2213 ofG4012 wordsG3056 andG2532 namesG3686, andG2532 of yourG4771 lawG3551, look yeG3708 to it; forG1063 IG1473 willG1014 beG1510 noG3756 judgeG2923 of suchG3778 matters. 16AndG2532 he draveG556 themG846 fromG575 the judgment seatG3588G968. 17ThenG1161 allG3956 the GreeksG3588G1672 tookG1949 SosthenesG4988, the chief ruler of the synagogueG3588G752, and beatG5180 him beforeG1715 the judgment seatG3588G968. AndG2532 GallioG3588G1058 cared forG3199 noneG3762 of those thingsG3778. 18

AndG1161 PaulG3972 after this tarriedG4357 there yetG2089 a goodG2425 whileG2250, and then took his leaveG657 of the brethrenG3588G80, and sailed thenceG1602 intoG1519 SyriaG3588G4947, andG2532 withG4862 himG846 PriscillaG4252 andG2532 AquilaG207; having shornG2751 his headG3588G2776 inG1722 CenchreaG2747: forG1063 he hadG2192 a vowG2171. 19AndG1161 he cameG2658 toG1519 EphesusG2181, andG2548 left themG2641 thereG847: butG1161 heG1525 himselfG846 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the synagogueG3588G4864, and reasonedG1256 with the JewsG3588G2453. 20WhenG1161 theyG846 desiredG2065 him toG1909 tarryG3306 longerG4119 timeG5550 withG3844 themG846, he consentedG1962 notG3756; 21ButG235 badeG657 themG846 farewellG657, sayingG3004, IG1473 mustG1163 by all meansG3843 keepG4160 this feastG3588G1859 that comethG2064 inG1519 JerusalemG2414: butG1161 I will returnG344 againG3825 untoG4314 youG4771, ifG2309 GodG3588G2316 willG2309. AndG2532 he sailedG321 fromG575 EphesusG3588G2181. 22AndG2532 when he had landedG2718 atG1519 CæsareaG2542, and gone upG305, andG2532 salutedG782 the AssemblyG3588G1577, he went downG2597 toG1519 AntiochG490. 23AndG2532 after he had spentG4160 someG5100 timeG5550 there, he departedG1831, and went overG1330 all the countryG5561 of GalatiaG1054 andG2532 PhrygiaG5435 in orderG2517, strengtheningG1991 allG3956 the disciplesG3588G3101.

24AndG1161 a certainG5100 JewG2453 namedG3686 ApollosG625, bornG3588G1085 at AlexandriaG221, an eloquentG3052 manG435, and mightyG1415 inG1722 the scripturesG3588G1124, cameG2658 toG1519 EphesusG2181. 25This manG3778 wasG1510 instructedG2727 in the wayG3588G3598 of the LordG3588G2962; andG2532 being ferventG2204 in the spiritG3588G4151, he spakeG2980 andG2532 taughtG1321 diligentlyG199 the thingsG3588 ofG4012 the LordG3588G2962, knowingG1987 onlyG3440 the baptismG3588G908 of JohnG2491. 26AndG5037 heG3778 beganG756 to speak boldlyG3955 inG1722 the synagogueG3588G4864: whomG846 whenG191 AquilaG207 andG2532 PriscillaG4252 had heardG191, they tookG4355 himG846 untoG4355 them, andG2532 expoundedG1620 unto himG846 the wayG3598 of GodG3588G2316 more perfectlyG199. 27AndG1161 when heG846 was disposedG1014 to passG1330 intoG1519 AchaiaG3588G882, the brethrenG3588G80 wroteG1125, exhortingG4389 the disciplesG3588G3101 to receiveG588 himG846: whoG3739, when he was comeG3854, helped themG4820 muchG4183 whichG3588 had believedG4100 throughG1223 graceG3588G5485: 28ForG1063 he mightilyG2159 convincedG1246 the JewsG3588G2453, and that publicklyG1219, shewingG1925 byG1223 the scripturesG3588G1124 thatG1925 JesusG2424 wasG1510 ChristG3588G5547.
