Acts 18:1-10 ▼

1 After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.

2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. He went to visit them

3 and, because he practiced the same trade, stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

4 Every sabbath, he entered into discussions in the synagogue, attempting to convince both Jews and Greeks.

5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to occupy himself totally with preaching the word, testifying to the Jews that the Messiah was Jesus.

6 When they opposed him and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your heads! I am clear of responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7 So he left there and went to a house belonging to a man named Titus Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next to a synagogue.

8 Crispus, the synagogue official, came to believe in the Lord along with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians who heard believed and were baptized.

9 One night in a vision the Lord said to Paul, “Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent,

10 for I am with you. No one will attack and harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
