12. But when 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 persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14. But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15. but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.
16. And he drave them from the judgment-seat.
17. And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.
18. And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae: for he had a vow.
19. And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20. And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;
21. but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.
22. And when he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch.
