Riverside(i)
1 AFTER this Paul left Athens and came to Corinth.
2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus but recently come from Italy with Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul visited these people,
3 and because he was of the same trade stayed with them and they worked together; for by trade they were tent-makers.
4 But in the synagogue every Sabbath he reasoned and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was absorbed by the message, bearing witness to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 When they resisted and spoke profane words, he rent his garments and said to them, "Your blood is on your own heads. I am clear, and from now on I am going to the Gentiles."
7 So he changed over from there and came into the house of a man named Titus Justus, who reverenced God. His house was next to the synagogue.
8 Crispus, the synagogue Director, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard believed and were baptized.
9 The Lord spoke in the night by a vision to Paul, "Do not fear, but speak and be not silent,
10 for I am with you and no one shall attack and harm you, for I have many people in this city."
11 So he stayed a year and six months, teaching among them the message of God.
