I am going to the Gentiles. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/18-7.htm#aramaic"><b>7</b></a></span>And he departed thence, and entered into the house of a certain man named Titus, a devout man whose household had joined the synagogue. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/18-8.htm#aramaic"><b>8</b></a></span>And Crispus, the chief of the synagogue, believed in our LORD, together with all his household;
