1 After these thinges, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinthus,

2 And found a certaine Iewe named Aquila, borne in Pontus, lately come from Italie, and his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Iewes to depart from Rome) and he came vnto them.

3 And because hee was of the same crafte, he abode with them and wrought (for their crafte was to make tentes.)

4 And he disputed in the Synagogue euery Sabbath day, and exhorted the Iewes, and the Grecians.

5 Now when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul, forced in spirit, testified to the Iewes that Iesus was the Christ.

6 And when they resisted and blasphemed, he shooke his raiment, and saide vnto them, Your blood be vpon your owne head: I am cleane: from henceforth will I goe vnto the Gentiles.

7 So he departed thence, and entred into a certaine mans house, named Iustus, a worshipper of God, whose house ioyned hard to the Synagogue.

8 And Crispus the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, beleeued in the Lord with all his housholde: and many of the Corinthians hearing it, beleeued and were baptized.

9 Then saide the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Feare not, but speake, and holde not thy peace.

11 So he continued there a yeere and six moneths, and taught ye worde of God among them.

12 Now when Gallio was Deputie of Achaia, the Iewes arose with one accorde against Paul, and brought him to the iudgement seate,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲅⲁⲗⲗⲓⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲁⲛⲑⲩⲡⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥⲁⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲁⲩϫⲓⲧϥ ⲉⲡⲃⲏⲙⲁ

14 And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio saide vnto the Iewes, If it were a matter of wrong, or an euill deede, O ye Iewes, I would according to reason maintaine you.

15 But if it bee a question of woordes, and names, and of your Lawe, looke yee to it your selues: for I will be no iudge of those things.

16 And hee draue them from the iudgement seate.

17 Then tooke al the Grecians Sosthenes the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, and beat him before the iudgement seat: but Gallio cared nothing for those things.

18 But when Paul had taried there yet a good while, hee tooke leaue of the brethren, and sailed into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila) after that he had shorne his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vowe.

19 Then hee came to Ephesus, and left them there: but hee entred into the Synagogue and disputed with the Iewes.

22 And when hee came downe to Cesarea, he went vp to Hierusalem: and when he had saluted the Church, he went downe vnto Antiochia.

23 Nowe when he had taried there a while, he departed, and went thorowe the countrey of Galatia and Phrygia by order, strengthening all the disciples.
