Acts 18:1-8

Paul in Corinth

1 After this Paul^[a] left Athens and went to Corinth.

2 And he found a Jew named ¹Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife ²Priscilla, because ³Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them,

3 and ⁴because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

4 And ⁵he reasoned in the synagogue ⁶every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks.

5 ⁷When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul ⁸was occupied with the word, ⁹testifying to the Jews that the Christ was ¹⁰Jesus.

6 And when they opposed and reviled him, ¹¹he shook out his garments and said to them, ¹²"Your blood be on your own heads! ¹³I am innocent. ¹⁴From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

7 And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius ¹⁵Justus, ¹⁶a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue.

8 ¹⁷Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together ¹⁸with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.
