Mace(i)
1 After this Paul left Athens and arriv'd at Corinth:
2 where having found a Jew nam'd Aquila, a native of Pontus, who lately came from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had order'd all the Jews to quit Rome; he went to them:
3 and being of the same trade, he liv'd with them, and follow'd the business of tent-making. every sabbath he disputed in the synagogue,
4 and try'd to gain upon the Jews and the Greek proselytes:
5 and when Silas and Timothy were arriv'd from Macedonia, Paul with great concern remonstrated to the Jews, that Jesus was the Messiah:
6 but as they oppos'd him with invectives, he shook his garment, and said, "you your selves be answerable for your own destruction, I am clear: and for the future I shall address my self to the Gentiles."
7 When he had left them, he went to the house of one Justus a proselyte to Judaism, who lived near the synagogue: however Crispus,
8 the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his family, as well as many of the Corinthians, who heard Paul, and were baptized.
9 then the Lord said to Paul in a vision by night, "be not afraid, but speak, and be not silenc'd:
10 (since I am with thee, and no man shall lift up his hand so as to hurt thee:) for my people in this city are numerous."
11 so he continued there a year and a half preaching the word of God among them.
12 When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a general insurrection against Paul, and carry'd him to his tribunal.
