He came to them, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>He drove them from the judgment seat. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Then all the Greeks took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/18-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
