RF ACT 18:1 The Offence of the Cross at Corinth.
Paul, afterwards taking his departure from Athens, came to Corinth.
RF ACT 18:2 And finding a Jew, named Aquila, a Pontian by birth, lately come from Italy with his wife Priscilla—because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to be expelled from Rome—he went to them.
RF ACT 18:3 And as he was of the same profession, he stayed with them, employing himself; for by profession they were landscape painters.
RF ACT 18:4 But be debated every Sabbath in the synagogue, persuading both Jews and Greeks.
RF ACT 18:5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, however, Paul was engaged in earnest discussion, demonstrating to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
RF ACT 18:6 Then setting themselves in opposition to him, and abusing him, he shook out his robe, and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am guiltless: from now I will go to the heathen."
RF ACT 18:7 He accordingly took his departure, and went to the house of a God-fearing man, named Titus Justus, whose house was close to the synagogue.
RF ACT 18:8 But Crispus, the chief of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his family; and many of the Corinthians having heard, believed, and were baptized.
RF ACT 18:9 Then during a vision in the night, the Lord said to Paul," Fear not, but speak out, and do not keep silence;
RF ACT 18:10 because I am with you, and no one shall attack to injure you; for many people in this city belong to Me."
RF ACT 18:11 He accordingly remained there a year and six months, teaching the message of God among them.
RF ACT 18:12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews unanimously made an assault upon Paul, and took him before the Court,
RF ACT 18:13 asserting, "This fellow misleads men, to worship God contrary to the law."
RF ACT 18:14 Then when Paul was about to speak out in his defence, Gallio said to the Jews, "Now, if this were some act of injustice, or some atrocious crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable to listen to you:
RF ACT 18:15 but if it is a dispute about language and names, and about your own law, why, just look to it yourselves; I am not disposed to be a judge of such matters."
RF ACT 18:16 And he drove them from the Court.
RF ACT 18:17 The whole of them then throwing themselves upon Sosthenes, the chief of the synagogue, assaulted him in the presence of the Court. But Gallio cared nothing about such things.
RF ACT 18:18 Conclusion of the Second Missionary Journey.
But Paul still stayed a considerable time organizing the brotherhood, then took his leave of them, sailing for Syria—Priscilla and Aquila accompanying him—shaving his head at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.
RF ACT 18:19 And on arriving at Ephesus, he left them. He, however, entered the synagogue by himself, and debated with the Jews.
RF ACT 18:20 Yet when they asked him to stay with them a little longer, he would not consent;
RF ACT 18:21 but took leave of them and said, "God willing, I will return to you again." Sailing then from Ephesus,
RF ACT 18:22 and landing at Caesarea, he went up and visited the Assembly (at Jerusalem).1 Then he descended to Antioch.
RF ACT 18:23 And spending some time there, he proceeded on his way; visiting in a regular manner the districts of Galatia and Phrygia, encouraging all the disciples.
RF ACT 18:24 The Evangelist Apollos.
A Judean, named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of education, powerful in the Scriptures, met him at Ephesus.
RF ACT 18:25 He had been instructed in the paths of the Lord; and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught about Jesus clearly, understanding only the baptism of John.
—————
1. Note 18:22, the words: "at Jerusalem" seem clearly to have been accidentally dropped out of the text by some early transcriber, for Paul came from Corinth especially to visit Jerusalem to fulfil a vow at the Temple; see v18 of the Chapter.—F.F.
RF ACT 18:26 And he began to speak out with confidence in the synagogue; when Priscilla and Aquila, hearing of him, took him and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
RF ACT 18:27 And as he was inclined to proceed to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. And on his arrival, he was, by means of his gift, of considerable assistance to the believers;
RF ACT 18:28 for in public he eloquently demonstrated to the Judeans, proving by means of the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
