1 After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.
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 issued an edict for all Jews to leave Rome. So Paul paid them a visit,
3 and as they all had the same trade, they proceeded to work together.
4 Every sabbath it was Paul's habit to preach in the synagogue and to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
5 By the time Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was wholly absorbed in preaching the message and was enthusiastically assuring the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6 But as they opposed and abused him, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads! I am not to blame for it myself. Hereafter I am going to the heathen."
7 So he moved into the house of a pagan named Titus Justus, who worshiped the true God; his house was next to the synagogue.
8 But Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, became a believer in the Lord, and so did all his family, and from time to time many of the Corinthians heard, believed, and were baptized.
9 One night in a vision the Lord said to Paul, "Stop being afraid, go on speaking, never give up;
10 because I am with you, and no one is going to attack you so as to injure you, because I have many people in this city."
11 So for a year and a half he settled down among them and went on teaching God's message.
12 While Gallio was governor of Greece, the Jews unanimously attacked Paul and one day brought him before the court,
13 and said, "This fellow is inducing people to worship God in ways that violate our laws."
14 As Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were some misdemeanor or underhanded rascality, O Jews, I would in reason listen to you;
15 but as it is questions about words and titles and your own law, you will have to see to it yourselves. I refuse to act as judge in these matters."
16 So he drove them away from the court.
17 Then they all seized Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and kept beating him right in front of the court; but Gallio paid no attention to it.
