Acts 18:1-11 - Paul, Silas, And Timothy In Corinth
1 AND after these transactions, Paul departing from Athens, came to Corinth; 2 and finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately arrived from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had issued an order that all Jews should depart from Rome,) he turned in to them. 3 And as he was of the same occupation, he abode with them, and worked, (for by trade they were tent-makers:) 4 and he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both the Jews and the Greek proselytes.
5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul felt a strong impulse on his spirit, and forcibly testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Messiah. 6 But as they continued opposing and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am pure from it: from this moment will I go to the Gentiles. 7 And departing thence, he came to the house of a person, called Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue. 8 But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.
9 Then spake the Lord in a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak; and hold not thy peace: 10 for I am with thee, and no man shall set himself against thee to do thee harm; because I have much people in this city. 11 And he sat down there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
