Paul in Corinth

¹After this Paul1 left Athens and went to Corinth. ²And he found a Jew named vAquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife vPriscilla, because wClaudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, ³and xbecause he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. ⁴And yhe reasoned in the synagogue yevery Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks.

⁵zWhen Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul awas occupied with the word, btestifying to the Jews that the Christ was cJesus. ⁶And when they opposed and reviled him, dhe shook out his garments and said to them, e“Your blood be on your own heads! fI am innocent. gFrom now on I will go to the Gentiles.” ⁷And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius hJustus, ia worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. ⁸jCrispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together kwith his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. ⁹And the Lord said to Paul lone night in ma vision, n“Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, ¹⁰nfor I am with you, and ono one will attack you to harm you, for pI have many in this city who are my people.” ¹¹And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
