WEBVTT 00:00.780 --> 00:05.680 Chapter 18 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth, 00:06.280 --> 00:10.600 and found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, 00:10.980 --> 00:15.060 with his wife Priscilla, because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart 00:15.060 --> 00:16.960 from Rome, and came unto them. 00:17.660 --> 00:20.760 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them and wrought, 00:21.100 --> 00:23.200 for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 00:23.720 --> 00:28.100 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the 00:28.100 --> 00:28.400 Greeks. 00:28.400 --> 00:33.380 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the 00:33.380 --> 00:37.160 spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 00:37.720 --> 00:41.540 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, 00:41.660 --> 00:44.760 and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads. 00:45.760 --> 00:46.740 I am clean. 00:47.580 --> 00:50.540 From henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 00:50.540 --> 00:55.300 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, 00:55.580 --> 00:59.020 one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 00:59.520 --> 01:03.780 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all 01:03.780 --> 01:04.340 his house. 01:04.660 --> 01:07.940 And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed, and were baptized. 01:08.880 --> 01:13.980 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, 01:14.180 --> 01:15.520 and hold not thy peace. 01:16.380 --> 01:20.640 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee. 01:21.340 --> 01:23.300 For I have much people in this city. 01:23.580 --> 01:27.760 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among 01:27.760 --> 01:28.040 them. 01:28.920 --> 01:33.620 And when Galio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord 01:33.620 --> 01:37.240 against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, saying, This fellow 01:37.240 --> 01:40.680 persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. 01:40.680 --> 01:44.680 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Galio said unto the Jews, 01:44.920 --> 01:50.760 If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I 01:50.760 --> 01:51.480 should bear with you. 01:52.140 --> 01:57.540 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it, 01:58.000 --> 01:59.980 for I will be no judge of such matters. 02:00.320 --> 02:02.160 And he draved them from the judgment seat. 02:02.580 --> 02:05.760 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, 02:06.020 --> 02:07.900 and beat him before the judgment seat. 02:07.900 --> 02:10.700 And Galio cared for none of those things. 02:11.720 --> 02:15.740 And Paul, after this, tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the 02:15.740 --> 02:19.900 brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, 02:20.260 --> 02:23.400 having shorn his head in Senchria, for he had a vow. 02:24.140 --> 02:26.360 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there. 02:26.900 --> 02:29.980 But he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 02:30.760 --> 02:34.760 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not, but bade them 02:34.760 --> 02:39.320 farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem, 02:39.820 --> 02:42.680 but I will return again unto you, if God will. 02:42.940 --> 02:44.000 And he sailed from Ephesus. 02:44.860 --> 02:48.460 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, 02:48.720 --> 02:50.000 he went down to Antioch. 02:50.340 --> 02:54.500 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country 02:54.500 --> 02:57.740 of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples. 02:58.400 --> 03:02.860 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, 03:03.020 --> 03:04.960 and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 03:05.880 --> 03:09.760 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the spirit, 03:10.120 --> 03:14.800 he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of 03:14.800 --> 03:15.160 John. 03:15.940 --> 03:20.080 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, whom when Aquila and Priscilla 03:20.080 --> 03:24.480 had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more 03:24.480 --> 03:24.900 perfectly. 03:25.560 --> 03:29.840 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the 03:29.840 --> 03:33.880 disciples to receive him, who, when he was come, helped them much which 03:33.880 --> 03:35.040 had believed through grace. 03:35.440 --> 03:39.300 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the 03:39.300 --> 03:40.840 Scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
