The Acts 18

18
1And after these things, having left Athens, he came to Corinth; 2and finding a certain Jew by name Aquila, of Pontus by race, just come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome,) came to them, 3and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade. 4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks. 5And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in respect of the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6But as they opposed and spoke injuriously, he shook his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head: I am pure; from henceforth I will go to the nations.
7And departing thence he came to the house of a certain man, by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined the synagogue. 8But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised. 9And the Lord said by vision in the night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent; 10because I am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city. 11And he remained there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat, 13saying, This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law. 14But as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne with you; 15but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; forI do not intend to be judge of these things. 16And he drove them from the judgment-seat. 17And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about none of these things.
18And Paul, having yet stayed there many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow; 19and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews. 20And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time with them he did not accede, 21but bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep the coming feast at Jerusalem; I will return to you again, if God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus. 22And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch. 23And having stayed there some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples.
24But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus. 25He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. 26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to them and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly. 27And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace. 28For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
