Acts 18:14-28

14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jewish people, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or a vicious crime, there would be a reason to put up with you, O Jews.

15But since it is issues about words, names, and your own law, see to it yourselves. I do not wish to be a judge of these.”

16And he drove them from the judgment seat.

17Then they all grabbed Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio paid no attention to these things.

18Paul, having stayed many more days, said farewell to the brothers and set sail to Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchrea Paul had his hair cut off, for he was keeping a vow.

19When they arrived at Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there. But he himself went into the synagogue and debated with the Jewish people.

20When they asked him to stay longer, he declined,

21instead taking leave of them while saying, “God willing, I’ll return to you again.” He set sail from Ephesus.

22After landing at Caesarea, he went up and greeted Messiah’s community; then he went down to Antioch.

23After spending some time there, he departed and went one place after another throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24Now a Jewish man named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, well versed in the Scriptures.

25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. With a fervent spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the facts about Yeshua—while only being acquainted with the immersion of John.

26This man began speaking out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God more accurately.

27When Apollos wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. Upon arrival, he greatly helped those who by grace had believed.

28For he powerfully refuted the Jewish people in public, demonstrating through the Scriptures that the Messiah was Yeshua.
