1
After these things, Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
2
There he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus and lately come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome. Paul went unto them,
3
and because he was of the same craft, he lodged with them and worked; for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4
And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5
And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6
But when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook his raiment and said unto them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles."
7
And he departed thence and entered into a certain man's house named Justus, one who worshiped God and whose house was adjoining the synagogue.
8
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.
