Acts 18:5-15

5 ¹When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul ²was occupied with the word, ³testifying to the Jews that the Christ was ⁴Jesus.

6 And when they opposed and reviled him, ⁵he shook out his garments and said to them, ⁶"Your blood be on your own heads! ⁷I am innocent. ⁸From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

7 And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius ⁹Justus, ¹⁰a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue.

8 ¹¹Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together ¹²with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.

9 And the Lord said to Paul ¹³one night in ¹⁴a vision, ¹⁵"Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent,

10 ¹⁶for I am with you, and ¹⁷no one will attack you to harm you, for ¹⁸I have many in this city who are my people."

11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12 But when Gallio was ¹⁹proconsul of Achaia, ²⁰the Jews made a united attack on Paul and ²¹brought him before the tribunal,

13 saying, "This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to ²²the law."

14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious ²³crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint.

15 But ²⁴since it is a matter of questions about words and names and ²⁵your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things."
