18:1  After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
18:2  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 to them.
18:3  And because he was of the same craft, he stayed with them, and worked: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
18:4  And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
18:5  And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
18:6  And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said to them, Your blood be on your own heads; I am clean; from now on I will go to the Gentiles.
18:7  And he departed there, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
18:8  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.
18:9  Then spoke the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not your peace:
18:10  For I am with you, and no man shall set on you to hurt you: for I have much people in this city.
18:11  And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
18:12  And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
18:13  Saying, This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
18:14  And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O you Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
18:15  But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look you to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
18:16  And he drove them from the judgment seat.
18:17  Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18:18  And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brothers, and sailed there into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
18:19  And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
18:20  When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
18:21  But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that comes in Jerusalem: but I will return again to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
18:22  And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
18:23  And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
18:24  And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
18:25  This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
18:26  And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him to them, and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
18:27  And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brothers wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
18:28  For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
