Paul's Ministry in Corinth and Conflict

Acts 18:1-17

Chapter 18
1 After these things, he departed from Athens and came to Corinth. 2 and having found a certain Jew named Aquila, a Pontian by race, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome, he approached them, 3 And because they were of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and he persuaded Jews and Greeks. 5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word and testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6 But as they opposed and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your head; I am clean. From now on I will go to the nations." 7 And he went from there and entered the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue. 8 But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with his whole household, and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized. 9 But the Lord said to Paul in the night through a vision: "Do not fear, but speak and do not be silent." 10 because I am with you, and no one will lay hands on you to harm you, for many people are mine in this city. 11 So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the tribunal, 13 saying, "This man persuades people to worship God contrary to the law." 14 But as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were some unrighteous act or villainous evil, O Jews, I would have borne with you according to reason." 15 But if it is disputes about a word and names and your law, you will see to it yourselves; I do not wish to be a judge of these things. 16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat. 17 But they all seized Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. And none of these things mattered to Gallio.
