New Living Translation (NLT)

Acts 17
³³ That ended Paul’s discussion with them,
³⁴ but some joined him and became believers. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the council, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Acts 18
¹ Then Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
² There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had left Italy when Claudius Caesar deported all Jews from Rome.
³ Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tentmakers just as he was.
⁴ Each Sabbath found Paul at the synagogue, trying to convince the Jews and Greeks alike.
⁵ And after Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul spent all his time preaching the word. He testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
⁶ But when they opposed and insulted him, Paul shook the dust from his clothes and said, “Your blood is upon your own heads—I am innocent. From now on I will go preach to the Gentiles.”
⁷ Then he left and went to the home of Titius Justus, a Gentile who worshiped God and lived next door to the synagogue.
⁸ Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, and everyone in his household believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also heard Paul, became believers, and were baptized.
⁹ One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and told him, “Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t be silent!
