* And found (5631 ) a certain Jew named Aquila , born in Pontus , lately come (5756 ) from Italy , with his wife Priscilla ; (because that Claudius had commanded (5760 ) all Jews to depart (5745 ) from Rome :) and came (5627 ) unto them . * And because he was (5750 ) of the same craft , he abode (5707 ) with them , and wrought (5711 ): for by their occupation they were (5713 ) tentmakers . * And he reasoned (5711 ) in the synagogue every sabbath , and persuaded (5707 ) the Jews and the Greeks . * And when Silas and Timotheus were come (5627 ) from Macedonia , Paul was pressed (5712 ) in the spirit , and testified (5740 ) to the Jews that Jesus was Christ . * And when they opposed (5734 ) themselves , and blasphemed (5723 ), he shook (5671 ) his raiment , and said (5627 ) unto them , Your blood be upon your own heads ; I am clean : from henceforth I will go (5695 ) unto the Gentiles . * And he departed (5631 ) thence , and entered (5627 ) into a certain mans house , named Justus , one that worshipped (5740 ) God , whose house joined hard (5723 ) (5713 ) to the synagogue . * And Crispus , the chief ruler of the synagogue , believed (5656 ) on the Lord with all his house ; and many of the Corinthians hearing (5723 ) believed (5707 ), and were baptized (5712 ). * Then spake (5627 ) the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision , Be not afraid (5737 ), but speak (5720 ), and hold not thy peace (5661 ): * For I am (5748 ) with thee , and no man shall set on (5698 ) thee to hurt (5658 ) thee : for I have (5748 ) much people in this city . * And he continued (5656 ) there a year and six months , teaching (5723 ) the word of God among them . * And when Gallio was the deputy (5723 ) of Achaia , the Jews made insurrection (5627 ) with one accord against Paul , and brought (5627 ) him to the judgment seat , * Saying (5723 ), This fellow persuadeth (5719 ) men to worship (5738 ) God contrary to the law . * And when Paul was now about (5723 ) to open (5721 ) his mouth , Gallio said (5627 ) unto the Jews , If it were (5713 ) a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness , O ye Jews , reason would that I should bear (5633 ) with you : * But if it be (5748 ) a question of words and names , and of your law , look ye (5695 ) to it ; for I will be (5736 ) (5750 ) no judge of such matters . * And he drave (5656 ) them from the judgment seat . * Then all the Greeks took (5637 ) Sosthenes , the chief ruler of the synagogue , and beat (5707 ) him before the judgment seat . And Gallio cared (5707 ) for none of those things .
