Acts 18:1-11

Paul at Corinth

1 After these things he left ¹Athens and went to ²Corinth.

2 And he found a Jew named ³Aquila, a native of ⁴Pontus, having recently come from ⁵Italy with his wife ⁶Priscilla, because ⁷Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,

3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and ⁸they were working, for by trade they were tent-makers.

4 And he was reasoning ⁹in the synagogue every ¹⁰Sabbath and trying to persuade ¹¹Jews and Greeks.

5 But when ¹²Silas and Timothy ¹³came down from ¹⁴Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly ¹⁵testifying to the Jews that ¹⁶Jesus was the Christ.

6 But when they resisted and blasphemed, he ¹⁷shook out his garments and said to them, "Your ¹⁸blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go ¹⁹to the Gentiles."

7 Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, ²⁰a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.

8 ²¹Crispus, ²²the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord ²³with all his household, and many of the ²⁴Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.

9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by ²⁵a vision, "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;

10 for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city."

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