Acts 18

1 After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

Aftir these thingis Poul yede out of Atenes, and cam to Corinthie.

2 And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he came to them;

And he fonde a man, a Jewe, Aquila bi name, of Ponte bi kynde, that late cam from Ytalie, and Priscille, his wijf, for that Claudius comaundide alle Jewis to departe fro Rome; and he cam to hem.

3 and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and worked; for they were tent-makers by trade.

And for he was of the same craft, he dwellide with hem, and wrouyte; and thei weren of roopmakeris craft.

4 And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath, and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

And he disputide in the synagoge bi ech sabat, puttynge among the name of the Lord Jhesu; and he counselide Jewis and Grekis.

5 And when both Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was wholly engaged in the word, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ.

And whanne Silas and Tymothe camen fro Macedonye, Poul yaf bisynesse to the word, and witnesside to the Jewis, that Jhesu is Crist.

6 And when they set themselves against him, and reviled, he shook his garments, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean; from this time I will go to the gentiles.

But whanne thei ayenseiden and blasfemyden, he schoke awei hise clothis, and seide to hem, Youre blood be on youre heed; Y schal be clene from hennus forth, and schal go to hethene men.

7 And he departed thence, and went to the house of a certain man, named Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was very near the synagogue.

And he passide fro thennus, and entride in to the hous of a iust man, Tite bi name, that worschipide God, whos hous was ioyned to the synagoge.

8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians upon hearing believed, and were baptized.

And Crispe, prince of the synagoge, bileuede to the Lord, with al his hous. And many of the Corinthies herden, and bileueden, and weren cristened.

9 And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent;

And the Lord seide bi nyyt to Poul bi a visioun, Nyle thou drede, but speke, and be not stille;

10 for I am with thee, and no one shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.

for Y am with thee, and no man schal be put to thee to noye thee, for myche puple is to me in this citee.

11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

And he dwellide there a yeer and sixe monethis, techinge among hem the word of God.

12 And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat,

But whanne Gallion was proconsul of Acaye, Jewis risen vp with oo wille ayens Poul, and ledden hym to the doom,

13 saying, This man persuadeth people to worship God contrary to the law.

and seiden, Ayens the lawe this counselith men to worschipe God.

14 And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some act of injustice or wicked misdeed, O Jews, with reason I should bear with you;

And whanne Poul bigan to opene his mouth, Gallion seide to the Jewis, If there were ony wickid thing, ether yuel trespas, ye Jewis, riytli Y schulde suffre you;

15 but if it be questions of doctrine, and names, and your law, look to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of these matters.

but if questiouns ben of the word, and of names of youre lawe, bisee you silf; Y wole not be domesman of these thingis.

16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

And he droof hem fro the doom place.

17 But they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat; and Gallio cared for none of these things.

And alle token Sostenes, prince of the synagoge, and smoten him bifor the doom place; and no thing of these was to charge to Gallion.

18 And Paul, having stayed many days longer, took leave of the brethren, and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

And whanne Poul hadde abidun many daies, he seide fare wel to britheren, and bi boot cam to Syrie. And Priscille and Aquila camen with hym, whiche hadden clippid his heed in Tencris; for he had a vow.

19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

And he cam to Effesie, and there he lefte hem; and he yede in to the synagoge, and disputide with Jewis.

20 And when they asked him to stay longer, he consented not;

And whanne thei preieden, that he schulde dwelle more time,

21 but having taken leave of them, saying, I will return to you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

he consentide not, but he made `fare wel, and seide, Eft Y schal turne ayen to you, if God wole; and he wente forth fro Effesi.

22 And having landed at Caesarea and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

And he cam doun to Cesarie, and he yede vp, and grette the chirche, and cam doun to Antiochie.

23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, going through the Galatian country and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

And whanne he hadde dwellide there sumwhat of time, he wente forth, walkinge bi rewe thorou the cuntrei of Galathie, and Frigie, and confermyde alle the disciplis.

24 And a certain Jew, named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

But a Jewe, Apollo bi name, a man of Alisaundre of kinde, a man eloquent, cam to Effesie; and he was myyti in scripturis.

25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught correctly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.

This man was tauyt the weie of the Lord, and was feruent in spirit, and spak, and tauyte diligentli tho thingis that weren of Jhesu, and knew oonli the baptym of Joon.

26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But Aquila and Priscilla having heard him, took him to them, and set forth to him the way [[of the Lord]] more fully.

And this man bigan to do tristili in the synagoge. Whom whanne Priscille and Aquila herden, thei token hym, and more diligentli expowneden to hym the weie of the Lord.

27 And when he wished to go over into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to give him welcome; and when he was come, he gave much aid to those who had believed through grace.

And whanne he wolde go to Acaie, britheren excitiden, and wroten to the disciplis, that thei schulden resseyue hym; which whanne he cam, yaf myche to hem that bileueden.

28 For he publicly confuted the Jews, with power, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

For he greetli ouercam Jewis, and schewide opynli bi scripturis, that Jhesu is Crist.
