14
And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong, or hainous crime, 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.
18
And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] 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 [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented not:
21
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22
And when he had landed at Cesarea, and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23
And after he had spent some time [there], he departed and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
