Acts 18:1-6 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. AFTER THIS [Paul] departed from Athens and went to Corinth.

2. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently arrived from Italy with Priscilla his wife, due to the fact that Claudius had issued an edict that all the Jews were to leave Rome. And [Paul] went to see them,

3. And because he was of the same occupation, he stayed with them; and they worked [together], for they were tentmakers by trade.

4. But he discoursed and argued in the synagogue every Sabbath and won over [both] Jews and Greeks.

5. By the time Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was completely engrossed with preaching, earnestly arguing and testifying to the Jews that Jesus [is] the Christ.

6. But since they kept opposing and abusing and reviling him, he shook out his clothing [against them] and said to them, Your blood be upon your [own] heads! I am innocent [of it]. From now on I will go to the Gentiles (the heathen). [Acts 13:46.]
