Acts 18:12-17 ▼

12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

13 saying, |This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law.|

14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, |If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters.|

16 He drove them from the judgment seat.

17 Then all the Greeks took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.
