⁵ By the time Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was completely engrossed with preaching, earnestly arguing and testifying to the Jews that Jesus the Christ. ⁶ But since they kept opposing and abusing and reviling him, he shook out his clothing and said to them, Your blood be upon your heads! I am innocent . From now on I will go to the Gentiles (the heathen). ⁷ He then left there and went to the house of a man named Titus Justus, who worshiped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue. ⁸ But Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed , together with his entire household; and many of the Corinthians who listened believed and were baptized. ⁹ And one night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, Have no fear, but speak and do not keep silent; ¹⁰ For I am with you, and no man shall assault you to harm you, for I have many people in this city. ¹¹ So he settled down among them for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God . ¹² But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia (most of Greece), the Jews unitedly made an attack upon Paul and brought him before the judge's seat, ¹³ Declaring, This fellow is advising and inducing and inciting people to worship God in violation of the Law . ¹⁴ But when Paul was about to open his mouth to reply, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of some misdemeanor or villainy, O Jews, I should have cause to bear with you and listen; ¹⁵ But since it is merely a question about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I decline to be a judge of such matters and I have no intention of trying such cases. ¹⁶ And he drove them away from the judgment seat. ¹⁷ Then they all seized Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and beat him right in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.
