Paul Accused Before The Proconsul Gallio

13 and said, "This fellow is inducing people to worship God in ways that violate our laws." 14 As Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were some misdemeanor or underhanded rascality, O Jews, I would in reason listen to you; 15 but as it is questions about words and titles and your own law, you will have to see to it yourselves. I refuse to act as judge in these matters."
