Acts 18:1-11

NSB(i) 1 After this Paul left Athens to go to Corinth. 2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus who is currently from Italy with his wife Priscilla. Claudius commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. So he came to them. 3 He was of the same trade as Paul. So he stayed with them and worked at their tentmaker trade. 4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks. 5 Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia. He witnessed to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. 6 When they opposed Paul and treated him abusively he shook out his garment and said to them: »Your blood is upon your own heads. I am clean. From now on I will go to the people of the nations.« 7 He left the synagogue and went next door to the house of a man named Titus Justus, one who worshiped God. 8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord and so did his household. Many of the Corinthians who heard and believed were baptized. 9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision: »Do not be afraid, but speak. Do not keep silent! 10 »I am with you and no man will harm you. I have many people in this city.« 11 He lived there a year and six months teaching the word of God to them.
