Acts 18:1-11 ▼

1 And after these things, having departed from Athens, he came to Corinth.

2 And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, and Priscilla his wife, recently having come from Italy because of Claudius having commanded all the Jews to depart out of Rome, he came to them,

3 and because of being of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked. For they were tentmakers by the trade.

4 And he was reasoning in the synagogue on every Sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.

5 Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, earnestly testifying to the Jews Jesus to be the Christ.

6 But on their opposing and reviling him, having shaken out the garments, he said to them, “Your? blood be upon your? head! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7 And having departed from there, he came to the house of a certain one named Titus Justus, one worshiping God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.

8 And Crispus, the synagogue ruler, believed in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing believed and were baptized.

9 Now the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but continue speaking, and do not be silent,

10 because I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to harm you, because there are many people unto Me in this city.”

11 And he remained a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
