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 now on I will go unto the Gentiles.
7. And he departed from there and entered into a certain man’s house, named Titus the Just, one that feared God, whose house was next 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 the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent,
10. For I am with thee, and no one shall be able to hurt thee, for I have many people in this city.
11. And he continued there a year and six months, teaching them the word of God.
12. And when Gallio was the proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,
13. saying, This fellow persuades men to honor 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 ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you;
15. but if it is a question of words and names and of your law, look ye to it, for I will be no judge of such matters.
16. And he drove them from the judgment seat.
17. 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.
18. And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while and then took his leave of the brethren and sailed from there into Syria and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow.
19. And he came to Ephesus and left them there, but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20. When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not,
21. but bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that comes in Jerusalem, but I will return again unto you, if God wills. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22. And when he had landed at Caesarea and gone up to Jerusalem and after greeting the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}, he went down to Antioch.
