* And after these things , departing from Athens , Paul came to Corinth . * And finding a certain Jew named Aquila , of Pontus by race , having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla , because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome , he came to them . * And because he was of the same trade , he lived and worked with them ; for they were tentmakers by trade . * And he reasoned in the synagogue on every sabbath persuading both Jews and Greeks . * And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia , Paul was pressed by the Spirit , earnestly testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ . * But they having resisted , and blaspheming , having shaken his garments , he said to them , Your blood be on your head . I am pure from it ; from now on I will go to the nations . * And moving from there , he went into the house of one named Justus , one worshiping God , whose house was next door to the synagogue . * And Crispus , the synagogue ruler , believed the Lord along with all his house . And hearing , many of the Corinthians believed and were baptized . * And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night , Do not fear , but speak , and do not keep silence ; * because I am with you , and no one shall set on you to oppress you ; because there is much people to Me in this city . * And he remained a year and six months teaching the Word of God among them . * But Gallio being proconsul of Achaia , the Jews rushed against Paul with one passion and led him to the tribunal , * saying , This one persuades men to worship God contrary to the Law . * But Paul being about to open his mouth , Gallio said to the Jews , If , indeed , then , it was some wrong or wicked criminality , O Jews , according to reason I would endure you . * But if it is a question about a word , and names , and the law according to you , you will see to it yourselves ; for I do not wish to be a judge of these things . * And he drove them from the tribunal . * And all the Greeks having seized Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue , they beat him before the tribunal . And not one of these things mattered to Gallio . * And having remained many days more , having taken leave of the brothers , Paul sailed to Syria , having shaved his head , in Cenchrea , for he had a vow . And Priscilla and Aquila were with him .
