Acts 18:1-11 ▼

1 And after these Paul having departed from Athens, came to Corinth;

2 And having found a certain Jew by name Aquila, a Pontian by birth, having recently come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife; (for Claudius had ordered all Jews to be separated from Rome:) came to them.

3 And because being of the same trade, he remained with them, and wrought: for they were by trade tentmakers.

4 And he discussed in the synagogue on every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

5 And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was oppressed in spirit, testifying to the Jews Jesus Christ.

6 And they opposing, and blaspheming, having shaken off the garments violently, he said to them, Your blood upon your head; I clean: from now will I go to the nations.

7 And having gone away thence, he came to the house of a certain Justus by name, worshipping God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.

8 And Crispus, ruler of the synagogue, believed the Lord with his whole house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptised.

9 And the Lord said through a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak, and thou shouldest not be silent:

10 For I am with thee, and none shall attack thee to injure thee: for much people are to me in this city.

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