Dual Panel1After <3326> this <5023> Paul departed <5563> from <1537> Athens <116> and went <2064> to <1519> Corinth <2882>.
2There he found <2147> a Jew <2453> named <3686> Aquila <207>, a native <1085> of Pontus <4193>, who had recently <4373> come <2064> from <575> Italy <2482> with his <846> wife <1135> Priscilla <4252>, because <1223> Claudius <2804> had ordered <1299> all <3956> the Jews <2453> to depart <5563> from <575> Rome <4516>. Paul approached <4334> them <846>,
3and <2532> because <1223> he worked <1510> at the same trade <3673>, he stayed <3306> with <3844> them <846> and <2532> worked <2038> with them (for <1063> they were <1510> tentmakers <4635> by trade <5078>).
4He addressed <1256> both <5037> Jews <2453> and <2532> Greeks <1672> in <1722> the synagogue <4864> every <2596> <3956> Sabbath <4521>, attempting to persuade <3982> them.
5Now <1161> when Silas <4609> and <2532> Timothy <5095> arrived <2718> from <575> Macedonia <3109>, Paul <3972> became wholly absorbed <4912> with proclaiming the word <3056>, testifying <1263> to the Jews <2453> that Jesus <2424> was the <1510> Christ <5547>.
6When <498> they <846> opposed <498> him and <2532> reviled <987> him, he protested by shaking out <1621> his clothes <2440> and said <2036> to <4314> them <846>, “Your <5216> blood <129> be on <1909> your own <5216> heads <2776>! I <1473> am guiltless <2513>! From <575> now <3568> on I will go <4198> to <1519> the Gentiles <1484>!”
7Then <2532> Paul left <3327> the synagogue <1564> and went <2064> to <1519> the house <3614> of a person <5100> named <3686> Titius <5103> Justus <2459>, a Gentile who worshiped <4576> God <2316>, whose <3739> house <3614> was <1510> next door <4927> to the synagogue <4864>.
8Crispus <2921>, the president of the synagogue <752>, believed <4100> in the Lord <2962> together with <4862> his <846> entire <3650> household <3624>, and <2532> many <4183> of the Corinthians <2881> who heard <191> about it believed <4100> and <2532> were baptized <907>.
9The Lord <2962> said <2036> to Paul <3972> by <1223> a vision <3705> in <1722> the night <3571>, “Do not <3361> be afraid <5399>, but <235> speak <2980> and <2532> do not <3361> be silent <4623>,
10because <1360> I <1473> am <1510> with <3326> you <4675>, and <2532> no one <3762> will assault <2007> you <4671> to harm <2559> you <4571>, because <1360> I <3427> have <1510> many <4183> people <2992> in <1722> this <3778> city <4172>.”
11So <1161> he stayed <2523> there a year <1763> and <2532> six <1803> months <3376>, teaching <1321> the word <3056> of God <2316> among <1722> them <846>.
12Now <1161> while Gallio <1058> was <1510> proconsul <446> of Achaia <882>, the Jews <2453> attacked <2721> Paul <3972> together <3661> and <2532> brought <71> him <846> before <1909> the judgment seat <968>,
13saying <3004>, “This man <3778> is persuading <374> people <444> to worship <4576> God <2316> in a way contrary <3844> to the law <3551>!”
14But <1161> just as Paul <3972> was about <3195> to speak <455> <4750>, Gallio <1058> said <2036> to <4314> the Jews <2453>, “If <1487> it were <1510> a matter of some crime <92> or <2228> serious piece of villainy <4467>, I would have been justified <430> in accepting <2596> the complaint <3056> of you <5216> Jews <2453>,
15but <1161> since it concerns points of disagreement <2213> about <4012> words <3056> and <2532> names <3686> and <2532> your own <5209> law <3551>, settle <3700> it yourselves <846>. I <1473> will <1014> not <3756> be <1510> a judge <2923> of these things <5130>!”
16Then <2532> he had <556> them <846> forced away <556> from <575> the judgment seat <968>.
17So <1161> they all <3956> seized <1949> Sosthenes <4988>, the president of the synagogue <752>, and began to beat <5180> him in front of <1715> the judgment seat <968>. Yet <2532> none <3762> of these things <5130> were of any concern <3199> to Gallio <1058>.
18Paul <3972>, after <2250> staying <4357> many <2425> more <2089> days <2250> in Corinth, said farewell <657> to the brothers <80> and sailed away <1602> to <1519> Syria <4947> accompanied by Priscilla <4252> and <2532> Aquila <207>. He had his hair cut off <2751> at <1722> Cenchrea <2747> because <1063> he had <2192> made a vow <2171>.
19When they reached <2658> Ephesus <2181>, Paul left <2641> Priscilla and Aquila <2548> behind <2641> there <847>, but <1161> he himself <846> went <1525> into <1519> the synagogue <4864> and addressed <1256> the Jews <2453>.
20When <2065> they <846> asked <2065> him to stay <3306> longer <1909> <4119> <5550>, he would <1962> not <3756> consent <1962>,
21but <235> said farewell <657> to them and <2532> added <2036>, “I will come back <344> to <4314> you <5209> again <3825> if God <2316> wills <2309>.” Then he set sail <321> from <575> Ephesus <2181>,
22and <2532> when <2718> he arrived <2718> at <1519> Caesarea <2542>, he went up <305> and <2532> greeted <782> the church <1577> at Jerusalem and then went down <2597> to <1519> Antioch <490>.
23After <4160> he spent <4160> some <5100> time <5550> there, Paul left <1831> and went through <1330> the region <5561> of Galatia <1054> and <2532> Phrygia <5435>, strengthening <4741> all <3956> the disciples <3101>.
24Now a Jew <2453> named <3686> Apollos <625>, a native <1085> of Alexandria <221>, arrived <2658> in <1519> Ephesus <2181>. He was <1510> an eloquent <3052> speaker <435>, well-versed <1415> in <1722> the scriptures <1124>.
25He <3778> had been <1510> instructed <2727> in the way <3598> of the Lord <2962>, and <2532> with great enthusiasm <2204> <4151> he spoke <2980> and <2532> taught <1321> accurately <199> the facts about <4012> Jesus <2424>, although he knew <1987> only <3440> the baptism <908> of John <2491>.
26He <3778> began <756> to speak out fearlessly <3955> in <1722> the synagogue <4864>, but <1161> when Priscilla <4252> and <2532> Aquila <207> heard <191> him <846>, they took <4355> him <846> aside <4355> and <2532> explained <1620> the way <3598> of God <2316> to him <846> more accurately <199>.
27When <1014> Apollos wanted <1014> to cross over <1330> to <1519> Achaia <882>, the brothers <80> encouraged <4389> him and wrote <1125> to the disciples <3101> to welcome <588> him <846>. When he arrived <3854>, he assisted <4820> greatly <4183> those who had believed <4100> by <1223> grace <5485>,
28for <1063> he refuted <2159> the Jews <2453> vigorously <1246> in public debate <1219>, demonstrating <1925> from <1223> the scriptures <1124> that the Christ <5547> was <1510> Jesus <2424>.
