* After these things Paul departed (5685 ) from Athens , and came (5627 ) to Corinth ; * 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 . * And Paul after this tarried (5660 ) there yet a good while , and then took his leave (5671 ) of the brethren , and sailed thence (5707 ) into Syria , and with him Priscilla and Aquila ; having shorn (5671 ) his head in Cenchrea : for he had (5707 ) a vow . * And he came (5656 ) to Ephesus , and left (5627 ) them there : but he himself entered (5631 ) into the synagogue , and reasoned with (5675 ) the Jews . * When they desired (5723 ) him to tarry (5658 ) longer time with them , he consented (5656 ) not ; * But bade them farewell (5662 ), saying (5631 ), I must (5748 ) by all means keep (5658 ) this feast that cometh (5740 ) in Jerusalem : but I will return (5692 ) again unto you , if God will (5723 ). And he sailed (5681 ) from Ephesus . * And when he had landed (5631 ) at Caesarea , and gone up (5631 ), and saluted (5666 ) the church , he went down (5627 ) to Antioch . * And after he had spent (5660 ) some time there , he departed (5627 ), and went over (5740 ) all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order , strengthening (5723 ) all the disciples . * And a certain Jew named Apollos , born at Alexandria , an eloquent man , and mighty (5752 ) in the scriptures , came (5656 ) to Ephesus . * This man was (5713 ) instructed in (5772 ) the way of the Lord ; and being fervent (5723 ) in the spirit , he spake (5707 ) and taught (5707 ) diligently the things of the Lord , knowing (5740 ) only the baptism of John . * And he began (5662 ) to speak boldly (5738 ) in the synagogue : whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard (5660 ), they took (5639 ) him unto them , and expounded (5639 ) unto him the way of God more perfectly . * And when he was disposed (5740 ) to pass (5629 ) into Achaia , the brethren wrote (5656 ), exhorting (5671 ) the disciples to receive (5664 ) him : who , when he was come (5637 ), helped them (5639 ) much which had believed (5761 ) through grace : * For he mightily convinced (5711 ) the Jews , and that publickly , shewing (5723 ) by the scriptures that Jesus was (5750 ) Christ .
