2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,
3 and as they practiced the same trade, he stayed with them, and they worked together, for they were tent-makers.
4 Every Sabbath he would preach in the synagogue, and try to convince both Jews and Greeks.
5 By the time Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was absorbed in preaching the message, emphatically assuring the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 But as they contradicted and abused him, he shook his clothes in protest, and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am not to blame for it! After this I will go to the heathen."
7 So he moved to the house of a devout proselyte named Titius Justus, which was next door to the synagogue.
8 But Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household, and many of the people of Corinth heard Paul and believed and were baptized.
9 One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, "Do not be afraid! Go on speaking and do not give up,
10 for I am with you, and no one shall attack you or injure you, for I have many people in this city."
11 So he settled there for a year and a half, and taught them God's message.
12 While Gallio was governor of Greece the Jews made a concerted attack upon Paul, and brought him before the governor.
13 "This fellow," they said, "is trying to induce people to worship God in ways that are against the law."
14 Before Paul could open his lips, Gallio said to the Jews, "If some misdemeanor or rascality were involved, Jews, you might reasonably expect me to listen to you.
15 But as it is only a question of words and titles and your own law, you must look after it yourselves. I refuse to decide such matters."
16 And he drove them away from the court.
17 Then they all seized Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the court. But Gallio paid no attention to it.
