Acts 18:5-15

5 But after Sila and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Sha'ul felt pressed by the urgency of the message and testified in depth to the Jews that Yeshua is the Messiah.
6 However when they set themselves against him and began hurling insults, he shook out his clothes and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! For my part, I am clean; from now on, I will go to the Goyim!"
7 So he left them and went into the home of a "God-fearer" named Titius Justus, whose house was right next door to the synagogue.
8 Crispus, the president of the synagogue, came to trust in the Lord, along with his whole household; also many of the Corinthians who heard trusted and were immersed.
9 One night, in a vision, the Lord said to Sha'ul, "Don't be afraid, but speak right up, and don't stop,
10 because I am with you. No one will succeed in harming you, for I have many people in this city."
11 So Sha'ul stayed there for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
12 But when Gallio became the Roman governor of Achaia, the unbelieving Jews made a concerted attack on Sha'ul and took him to court,
13 saying, "This man is trying to persuade people to worship God in ways that violate the Torah."
14 Sha'ul was just about to open his mouth, when Gallio said to the Jews, "Listen, you Jews, if this were a case of inflicted injury or a serious crime, I could reasonably be expected to hear you out patiently.
15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law, then you must deal with it yourselves. I flatly refuse to judge such matters."
