--Acts of the Apostles-- After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; (18:1) And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. (18:2) And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. (18:3) And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. (18:4) And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ. (18:5) And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. (18:6) And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man's] house, named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. (18:7) And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. (18:8) Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: (18:9) For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. (18:10) And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. (18:11) |
