Acts 18:6-16

6 But when they resisted and blasphemed, he 1shook out his garments and said to them, "Your 2blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go 3to the Gentiles."
7 Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, 4a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.
8 5Crispus, 6the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord 7with all his household, and many of the 8Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.
9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by 9a 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.
12 But while Gallio was 10proconsul of 11Achaia, 12the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before 13the judgment seat,
13 saying, "This man persuades men to worship God contrary to 14the law."
14 But when Paul was about to 15open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;
15 but if there are 16questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwilling * to be a judge of these matters."
16 And he drove them away from 17the judgment seat.
