Acts 18:12-17

12 But while Gallio was ¹proconsul of ²Achaia, ³the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before ⁴the judgment seat,

13 saying, "This man persuades men to worship God contrary to ⁵the law."

14 But when Paul was about to ⁶open 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 ⁷questions 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 ⁸the judgment seat.

17 And they all took hold of ⁹Sosthenes, ¹⁰the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of ¹¹the judgment seat. But Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.
