After these things he departed from Athens and came unto Corinth.
And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. And he came unto them:
and because he was one of the same trade, he abode with them, and [they] wrought, for by their trade they were tent-makers.
And he was discoursing in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuading Jews and Greeks.
And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was engrossed with the word testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
But as they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook out his clothes, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own head; I [am] pure; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles,
and departing thence he went into a certain man’s house by name Titus Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house adjoined to the synagogue.

But when Gallio was pro-consul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul, and brought him before the judgment seat,
saying, This [man] persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were some wrong, or wicked villainy, O Jews, with reason should I have borne with you;
but if they are questions about a word and names and your own law, ye shall look yourselves; I do not intend to be judge of these things.
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat [him] before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, arrived at Ephesus, being mighty in the scriptures.
He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John;
and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him up, and more accurately expounded to him the way of God.
And when he was minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote and urged the disciples to receive him; and he, on coming, contributed much to those that had believed through grace.
