He and his wife Priscilla had recently come from Italy because of Claudius's edict expelling all the Jews from Rome. So Paul paid them a visit; <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>and because he was of the same trade—that of tent-maker—he lodged with them and worked with them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>But, Sabbath after Sabbath, he preached in the synagogue and tried to win over both Jews and Greeks.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Now at the time when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was preaching fervently and was solemnly telling the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>But upon their opposing him with abusive language, he shook his clothes by way of protest, and said to them, "Your ruin will be upon your own heads. I am not responsible: in future I will go among the Gentiles." <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>So he left the place and went to the house of a person called Titius Justus, a worshipper of the true God. His house was next door to the synagogue. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And Crispus, the Warden of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household; and from time to time many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and received baptism. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>And, in a vision by night, the Lord said to Paul, "Dismiss your fears: go on speaking, and do not give up. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>I am with you, and no one shall attack you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city." <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>So Paul remained in Corinth for a year and six months, teaching among them the Message of God.</p> <p class="hdg">Paul Before Gallio</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>"This man," they said, "is inducing people to offer unlawful worship to God." <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>But, when Paul was about to begin his defence, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it had been some wrongful act or piece of cunning knavery I might reasonably have listened to you Jews. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>But since these are questions about words and names and your Law, you yourselves must see to them.

So he set sail from Ephesus.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and inquired after the welfare of the Church, and then went down to Antioch.</p> <a name="23" id="23"></a><p class="hdg">Paul's Third Missionary Journey<br /><p class="cross">(<a href="../acts/13.htm">Acts 13:1-3</a>; <a href="../acts/15.htm#36">Acts 15:36-41</a>)</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out on a tour, visiting the whole of Galatia and Phrygia in order, and strengthening all the disciples.</p> </p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/18-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos came to Ephesus.
