Acts 18

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

And after (now *k*) these things having departed (*k*) (Paul *K*) from Athens he came to Corinth,

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.

And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, of Pontus a native, recently having come from Italy, and Priscilla wife of him, because of (to have commanded *NK(o)*) Claudius to depart all the Jews (out of *N(k)O*) Rome, he came to them;

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

and due to of the same trade being he was staying with them and (he was working; *NK(O)*) they were for tentmakers (by trade; *N(k)O*)

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

he was reasoning now in the synagogue on every Sabbath, was persuading both Jews and Greeks.

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

When now came down from Macedonia both Silas and Timothy, was occupied with the (word *N(K)O*) Paul earnestly testifying to the Jews to be the Christ Jesus.

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.

When are opposing however they and denigrating [him], having shaken out the garments he said to them; The blood of You [be] upon the head of you, clean I myself [am]; From now on to the Gentiles I will go.

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.

And having departed from there (he entered *N(k)O*) to [the] house of a certain one named (Titius *N(O)*) Justus worshiping the God, of whom the house was adjoining 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.

Crispus now the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all the household of him, And many of the Corinthians hearing were believing 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.

Said now the Lord in [the] night through a vision to Paul; Not do fear but do continue speaking and not may be silent,

10 For I am with thee, and no man shall lay handes on thee to hurt thee: for I haue much people in this citie.

because I myself am with you, and no [one] will lay a hand on you to harm you; because people there is to me many in city this;

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

He remained (now *N(k)O*) a year and months six teaching among them the word of God.

12 Now when Gallio was Deputie of Achaia, the Iewes arose with one accorde against Paul, and brought him to the iudgement seate,

When Gallio however proconsul being of Achaia rose up with one accord the Jews against Paul and led him to the judgment seat,

13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth me to worship God otherwise then the Lawe appointeth.

saying that Contrary to the law persuades this [man] men to worship God.

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.

When is being about to now Paul to open [his] mouth said Gallio to the Jews; If indeed (therefore *K*) it was unrighteousness some or crime wicked, O Jews, according to reason would (I have endured with *N(k)O*) 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.

if however (questions *N(K)O*) it is about a word and names and law of yours, you will behold [to it] yourselves; a judge (for *k*) I myself of these things not resolve to be.

16 And hee draue them from the iudgement seate.

And he drove them from the judgment seat.

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.

Having seized then all [of them] (the Greeks *K*) Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue they were beating [him] before the judgment seat; And no [thing] about these things to Gallio (was concerning. *NK(O)*)

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.

Now Paul more having remained days many, of the brothers having taken leave he was sailing away to Syria — and with him Priscilla and Aquila — having shaved in Cenchrea the head; he had for a vow.

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

(They came *N(K)O*) now to Ephesus; and them and them left there, He himself then having entered into the synagogue (he reasoned *N(k)O*) with the Jews.

20 Who desired him to tarie a longer time with them: but he would not consent,

When are asking now they for [him] a longer time to remain (with them *k*) not he did consent;

21 But bade the farewel, saying, I must needes keepe this feast that commeth, in Hierusalem: but I will returne againe vnto you, if God will. So he sailed from Ephesus.

but (having taken leave *N(k)O*) (and *no*) (to them *k*) having said (necessary *KO*) (me by all means the feast which is coming to do into Jerusalem; *K*) Again (now *k*) I will return to you God willing, (and *k*) he sailed from Ephesus.

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.

and having landed at Caesarea, having gone up and having greeted the church he went down to Antioch;

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.

And having stayed time some he went forth passing through successively the Galatian region and Phrygia, (strengthening *NK(o)*) all the disciples.

24 And a certaine Iewe named Apollos, borne at Alexandria, came to Ephesus, an eloquent man, and mightie in the Scriptures.

A Jew now certain Apollos named, of Alexandria a native, a man eloquent, came to Ephesus mighty being in the Scriptures.

25 The same was instructed in the way of the Lord, and hee spake feruently in the Spirite, and taught diligently the things of the Lord, and knew but the baptisme of Iohn onely.

He was instructed [in] the way of the Lord, And being fervent in spirit he was speaking and he was teaching earnestly the [things] concerning (Jesus *N(K)O*) knowing only the baptism of John;

26 And he began to speake boldely in the Synagogue. Whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they tooke him vnto them, and expounded vnto him the way of God more perfectly.

He then began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Having heard however him Priscilla and Aquila they took to [them] him and more accurately to him they expounded the way of God.

27 And when hee was minded to goe into Achaia, the brethren exhorting him, wrote to the disciples to receiue him: and after hee was come thither, he holpe them much which had beleeued through grace.

When is resolving then he to pass through into Achaia, having encouraged [him] the brothers wrote to the disciples to welcome him; who having arrived he helped greatly those having believed through grace;

28 For mightily hee confuted publikely the Iewes, with great vehemencie, shewing by the Scriptures, that Iesus was that Christ.

Powerfully for the Jews he was refuting publicly showing through the Scriptures to be the Christ Jesus.
