After this , (Paul) left ... - Athens (and) went to Corinth.
(There) he found a Jew named Aquila - , a native of Pontus , who {had} recently come from - Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius - had ordered all the Jews to leave ... - Rome. (Paul) went to ( visit ) them ,
and he stayed and worked with them because - they were tentmakers vvv by trade , - (just as) he was.
- Every Sabbath - he reasoned in the synagogue , trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
And when - - Silas and - Timothy - came down from - Macedonia , - Paul devoted himself fully to the word , testifying to the Jews (that) Jesus is the Christ.
But (when) they opposed and insulted (him) , he shook out (his) garments (and) told ... them , “ Your - blood (be) on your (own) heads ! I (am) innocent (of it). From - now on I will go to the Gentiles. ”
(So) (Paul) left ... the synagogue (and) went - next door to (the) house of - Titus - Justus , - - - a worshiper - of God.
- Crispus , the synagogue leader , and his whole - household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians - who heard ( the message ) believed and were baptized.
One ... night the Lord spoke - to Paul in a vision : “ {Do} not be afraid ; - keep on speaking ; - {do} not be silent.
For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on ... ... ... you , because I have ... many people in this - city. ”
(So) (Paul) stayed for a year and (a half) ... , teaching the word - of God among (the Corinthians -).
(While) Gallio was proconsul of Achaia , the Jews coordinated an attack - on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
“ This (man) is persuading the (people) to worship - God in ways contrary to the law , ” they said -.
But (just as) - Paul was about to speak ... ... , - Gallio told ... the Jews , “ If - this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime , O Jews , vvv it would be reasonable vvv for me to hear your ( complaint ).
But since it is a dispute about words and names and vvv vvv your own law , settle (it) yourselves. I refuse ... to be a judge of such things. ”
And he drove them {away} from the judgment seat.
At this , the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader (and) beat (him) in front of the judgment seat. (But) none of this was of concern - to Gallio.
- - Paul remained (in Corinth) for quite some time (before) saying goodbye to the brothers. {He had} (his) head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had ( made ) , (and then) he sailed for - Syria , vvv accompanied by - Priscilla and Aquila.
(When) they reached ... Ephesus , (Paul) parted ways with ... (Priscilla and Aquila). - He himself went into the synagogue (there) (and) reasoned with the Jews.
(When) they asked (him) to stay for a while longer ... , vvv he declined.
But as he left , - he said , “ vvv I will come back to you - (if) God is willing. ” (And) he set sail from - Ephesus.
(When Paul) had landed at Caesarea , he went up and greeted the church ( at Jerusalem ). (Then) he went down to Antioch.
(After) (Paul) had spent some time (in Antioch) , he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia , strengthening all the disciples.
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos , - a native of Alexandria , came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man , well versed in the Scriptures.
He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent - in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately - about - Jesus , (though) he knew only the baptism of John -.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. (When) Priscilla and Aquila heard him , they took him in ... and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
(When) (Apollos) resolved to cross over to - Achaia , the brothers encouraged (him) (and) wrote to the disciples (there) to welcome him. On his arrival ... , he {was a} great help to those who by - grace had believed.
For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public (debate) , proving from the Scriptures (that) Jesus is the Christ.
