Acts 18:1-6 ▼

1 After this Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.

2 There he found 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 depart from Rome. Paul approached them,

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

4 He addressed both Jews and Greeks in the synagogue every Sabbath, attempting to persuade them.

5 Now when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul became wholly absorbed with proclaiming the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

6 When they opposed him and reviled him, he protested by shaking out his clothes and said to them, |Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!|
