Acts 18
NASB



Paul at Corinth

Tools
1 After these things he left (A)Athens and went to (B)Corinth.
Tools
2 And he found a Jew named (C)Aquila, a native of (D)Pontus, having recently come from (E)Italy with his wife (F)Priscilla, because (G)Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,
Tools
3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and (H)they were working, for by trade they were tent-makers.
Tools
4 And he was reasoning (I)in the synagogue every (J)Sabbath and trying to persuade (K)Jews and Greeks.
Tools
5 But when (L)Silas and Timothy (M)came down from (N)Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly (O)testifying to the Jews that (P)Jesus was the (a)Christ.
Tools
6 But when they resisted and blasphemed, he (Q)shook out his garments and said to them, “Your (R)blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go (S)to the Gentiles.”
Tools
7 Then he left there and went to the house of a man named (b)Titius Justus, (T)a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.
Tools
8 (U)Crispus, (V)the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord (W)with all his household, and many of the (X)Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.
Tools
9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by (Y)a vision, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;
Tools
10 for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Tools
11 And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Tools
12 But while Gallio was (Z)proconsul of (AA)Achaia, (AB)the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before (AC)the judgment seat,
Tools
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to (AD)the law.”
Tools
14 But when Paul was about to (AE)open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;
Tools
15 but if there are (AF)questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters.”
Tools
16 And he drove them away from (AG)the judgment seat.
Tools
17 And they all took hold of (AH)Sosthenes, (AI)the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of (AJ)the judgment seat. But Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.
Tools
18 Paul, having remained many days longer, (AK)took leave of (AL)the brethren and put out to sea for (AM)Syria, and with him were (AN)Priscilla and (AO)Aquila. In (AP)Cenchrea (c)he (AQ)had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow.
Tools
19 They came to (AR)Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered (AS)the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Tools
20 When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent,
Tools
21 but (AT)taking leave of them and saying, “I will return to you again (AU)if God wills,” he set sail from (AV)Ephesus.
Tools
22 When he had landed at (AW)Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to (AX)Antioch.

Third Missionary Journey

Tools
23 And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the (AY)Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Tools
24 Now a Jew named (AZ)Apollos, an (BA)Alexandrian by birth, (d)an eloquent man, came to (BB)Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures.
Tools
25 This man had been instructed in (BC)the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with (BD)the baptism of John;
Tools
26 and (e)he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when (BE)Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him (BF)the way of God more accurately.
Tools
27 And when he wanted to go across to (BG)Achaia, (BH)the brethren encouraged him and wrote to (BI)the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly (f)helped those who had believed through grace,
Tools
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating (BJ)by the Scriptures that (BK)Jesus was the (g)Christ.
