1After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.

2There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, and his wife Priscilla; they had recently arrived from Italy because Claudius had issued an edict that all Jews should leave Rome. Paul approached them

3and, because he was of the same trade, he made his home with them; they were tentmakers and Paul worked with them.

4He also held discussions in the synagogue sabbath by sabbath, trying to convince both Jews and Gentiles.

5Then Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, and Paul devoted himself entirely to preaching, maintaining before the Jews that the Messiah is Jesus.

6When, however, they opposed him and resorted to abuse, he shook out the folds of his cloak and declared, “Your blood be on your own heads! My conscience is clear! From now on I shall go to the Gentiles.”

7With that he left, and went to the house of a worshipper of God named Titius Justus, who lived next door to the synagogue.

8Crispus, the president of the synagogue, became a believer in the Lord, as did all his household; and a number of Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized.

9One night in a vision the Lord said to Paul, “Have no fear: go on with your preaching and do not be silenced.

10I am with you, and no attack shall harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.”

11So he settled there for eighteen months, teaching the word of God among them.

12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a concerted attack on Paul and brought him before the court.

13“This man”, they said, “is inducing people to worship God in ways that are against the law.”

14Paul was just about to speak when Gallio declared, “If it had been a question of crime or grave misdemeanour, I should, of course, have given you Jews a patient hearing,

15but if it is some bickering about words and names and your Jewish law, you may settle it yourselves. I do not intend to be a judge of these matters.”

16And he dismissed them from the court.

17Then they all attacked Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue, and beat him up in full view of the tribunal. But all this left Gallio quite unconcerned.

18Paul stayed on at Corinth for some time, and then took leave of the congregation. Accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila, he sailed for Syria, having had his hair cut off at Cenchreae in fulfilment of a vow.

19They put in at Ephesus, where he parted from his companions; he himself went into the synagogue and held a discussion with the Jews.

20He was asked to stay longer, but he declined

21and set sail from Ephesus, promising, as he took leave of them, “I shall come back to you if it is God's will.”

22On landing at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church; and then went down to Antioch.

23After some time there he set out again on a journey through the Galatian country and then through Phrygia, bringing new strength to all the disciples.

24THERE arrived at Ephesus a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, powerful in his use of the scriptures.

25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was full of spiritual fervour; and in his discourses he taught accurately the facts about Jesus, though the only baptism he knew was John's.

26He now began to speak boldly in the synagogue, where Priscilla and Aquila heard him; they took him in hand and expounded the way to him in greater detail.

27Finding that he wanted to go across to Achaia, the congregation gave him their support, and wrote to the disciples there to make him welcome. From the time of his arrival, he was very helpful to those who had by God's grace become believers,

28for he strenuously confuted the Jews, demonstrating publicly from the scriptures that the Messiah is Jesus.
