5. But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6. But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
7. Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.
8. Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.
9. And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;
10. for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
11. And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12. But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13. saying, "This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."
14. But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;
15. but if there are questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters."
