New International Version NIV
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,
12
While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment.
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
13
“This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
14
Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you.
15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
15
But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.”
16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
16
So he drove them off.
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.
17
Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.
