12
But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat,
13
Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law.
14
But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing:
15
But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.
16
And he sent them away from the judge's seat.
17
And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.
18
And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.
19
And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.
20
And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No;
21
And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.
22
And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch.
