Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Acts 18
¹ After these things he left Athens and went to Corinth.
² And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,
³ and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working, for by trade they were tent-makers.
⁴ And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
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.
