Acts 18:1-10 ▼

1 THEN Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2 And there he found a Jew named A’qui-la, from the region of Pontus, who had just arrived from Italy with his wife Pris-cil’la, because Clau’di-us Cæs’ar had commanded all Jews to leave Rome: and Paul went to them.

3 And because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked with them: for they were saddle makers by trade.

4 And he spoke in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the pagans.

5 And when Silas and Ti-mo’the-us came from Mac-e-do’ni-a, Paul felt he was not free to speak, because the Jews opposed him and blasphemed as he testified that Jesus is the Christ.

6 So he shook his garments and said to them, From henceforth I am not to be blamed for what I am about to do; I am going to the Gentiles.

7 And he departed thence, and entered into the house of a certain man named Titus, a devout man whose household had joined the synagogue.

8 And Crispus, the chief of the synagogue, believed in our LORD, together with all his household; and many of the Corinthians hearing him believed in God and were baptized.

9 Then the LORD spoke to Paul in a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and be not silent.

10 For I am with you, and no man can harm you: and I have many people in this city.
