44:018:008 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue,
believed on the
Lord
with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing
believed,
and were baptized.
44:018:009 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night
by a vision, Be not
afraid,
but speak, and hold not thy peace:
44:018:010 For I am with thee, and no man shall set
on thee to hurt thee:
for
I have much people in this city.
44:018:011 And he continued there a year and six months,
teaching the
word
of God among them.
44:018:012 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia,
the Jews made
insurrection
with one accord against Paul, and brought him to
the
judgment seat,
44:018:013 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship
God contrary to
the
law.
44:018:014 And when Paul was now about to open his
mouth, Gallio said
unto
the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked
lewdness,
O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
44:018:015 But if it be a question of words and names,
and of your law,
look
ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
44:018:016 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
44:018:017 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the
chief ruler of the
synagogue,
and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio
cared
for none of those things.
44:018:018 And Paul after this tarried there yet a
good while, and then
took
his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria,
and
with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head
in
Cenchrea:
for he had a vow.
44:018:019 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there:
but he himself
entered
into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
44:018:020 When they desired him to tarry longer time
with them, he
consented
not;
44:018:021 But bade them farewell, saying, I must
by all means keep this
feast
that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again
unto
you,
if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
44:018:022 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and
gone up, and saluted
the
church, he went down to Antioch.
44:018:023 And after he had spent some time there,
he departed, and went
over
all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order,
strengthening
all the disciples.
44:018:024 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at
Alexandria, an
eloquent
man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
44:018:025 This man was instructed in the way of the
Lord; and being
fervent
in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the
things
of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
