by
that
man whom he hath ordained;
whereof
he hath given assurance unto all
men,
in that he hath
raised him from the dead.
32
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will
hear thee again of this
matter.
33
So Paul departed from among them.
34
Howbeit certain men clave
unto him, and believed: among the which
was
Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named
Damaris, and others with them.
CHAPTER 18
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2
And found a certain Jew
named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius
had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
3
And because he was of the
same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4
And
he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5
And when
Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to
the Jews
that
Jesus
was
Christ.
6
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook
his
raiment, and said unto them, Your blood
be
upon your own heads; I
am
clean: from henceforth
I will go unto the Gentiles.
7
And he departed thence, and entered into a certain
man’s
house, named Justus,
one
that
worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8
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.
9
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision,
Be not afraid, but speak,
and hold not thy peace:
10
For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have
much people in this city.
11

there
a year and six months, teaching the word of
God among them.

13
Saying, This

God contrary to the law.
14
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

15

your law, look ye

took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat
him
before the judgment seat. And Gallio

18
And Paul
after this
tarried
there
yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and
