And when Gallio was the proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,
13
saying, This
fellow persuades men to honor God 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;
15
but if it is a question of words and names and of your law, look ye
to it, for I will be no judge of such
matters.
16
And he drove them from the judgment seat.
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.
