Acts 18:1-11

MLV(i) 1 Now after these things, Paul, having departed from Athens, came to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew, Aquila by name, and his wife Priscilla, a man of Pontus by race, who recently had come from Italy because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart out of Rome. He came to them 3 also because he was of the same craft. He was remaining and working beside them, for they were tent makers, by the craft. 4 Now he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and was persuading Jews and Greeks.
5 Now as Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was being troubled in the spirit, thoroughly testifying to the Jews: the Christ Jesus. 6 Now while they were resisting us and blaspheming God, he shook-off his garment and said to them, Your blood is upon your own heads. I am clean. I will be traveling to the Gentiles from hereafter. 7 And he proceeded from there and went into the house of a certain man, Justus by name, one who worshiped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue.


8 Now Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole house.
And many of the Corinthians hearing, were believing and were being immersed.
9 Now the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Do not be afraid, but speak out and do not be silent, 10 because I am with you and no one will be laying a hand on you to mistreat you, because there are many people in this city believing in me. 11 And he stuck-around there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
