⁵ And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. ⁶ And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles. ⁷ And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue. ⁸ And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism. ⁹ And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching: ¹⁰ For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town. ¹¹ And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. ¹² But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat, ¹³ Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law. ¹⁴ But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing: ¹⁵ But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things. ¹⁶ And he sent them away from the judge's seat. ¹⁷ And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.
