12 While Gallio was governor of Greece, the Jews had one thought in mind. They attacked Paul and brought him to court. 13 They said, |This man is persuading people to worship God in ways that are against Moses' Teachings.| 14 Paul was about to answer when Gallio said to the Jews, |If there were some kind of misdemeanor or crime involved, reason would demand that I put up with you Jews. 15 But since you're disputing words, names, and your own teachings, you'll have to take care of that yourselves. I don't want to be a judge who gets involved in those things.| 16 So Gallio had them forced out of his court. 17 Then all [the governor's officers] took Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, and beat him in front of the court. But Gallio couldn't have cared less. Acts 18:12-17, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
