Acts 18

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth

2 and found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla (for Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and came unto them.

3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them and worked, for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was impressed by the Spirit and testified to the Jews <em>that</em> Jesus <em>was</em> the Christ.

6 And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook <em>his</em> raiment and said unto them, Your blood <em>be</em> upon your own heads; I <em>am</em> clean; from now on I will go unto the Gentiles.

7 And he departed from there and entered into a certain <em>man’s</em> house, named Titus the Just, <em>one</em> that feared God, whose house was next to the synagogue.

8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

9 Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent,

10 For I am with thee, and no one shall be able to hurt thee, for I have many people in this city.

11 And he continued <em>there</em> a year and six months, teaching them the word of God.

12 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 <em>fellow</em> persuades men to honor God contrary to the law.

14 And when Paul was now about to open <em>his</em> mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O <em>ye</em> 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 <em>to it</em>, for I will be no judge of such <em>matters</em>.

16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.

17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat <em>him</em> before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

18 And Paul <em>after this</em> tarried <em>there</em> yet a good while and then took his leave of the brethren and sailed from there into Syria and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn <em>his</em> head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow.

19 And he came to Ephesus and left them there, but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

20 When they desired <em>him</em> to tarry longer time with them, he consented not,

21 but bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that comes in Jerusalem, but I will return again unto you, if God wills. And he sailed from Ephesus.

22 And when he had landed at Caesarea and gone up <em>to Jerusalem</em> and after greeting the <em>congregation</em> {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}, he went down to Antioch.

23 And after he had spent some time <em>there</em>, he departed and went over <em>all</em> the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, confirming all the disciples.

24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man <em>and</em> mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, teaching only in the baptism of John.

26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Aquila and Priscilla had heard him, they took him unto <em>them</em> and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the exhorted brethren wrote the disciples to receive him, who, when he was come, was very helpful through grace unto those who had believed;

28 for he mightily convinced the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

New International Version NIV

1 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them,

3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.

4 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

5 When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

6 But when they opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.

8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his entire household believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.

9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.

10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”

11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.

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 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”

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 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 So he drove them off.

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.

18 Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae because of a vow he had taken.

19 They arrived at Ephesus, where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

20 When they asked him to spend more time with them, he declined.

21 But as he left, he promised, “I will come back if it is God’s will.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

22 When he landed at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch.

23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures.

25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.

26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.

27 When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers and sisters encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.

28 For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
