And he spoke in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and Gentiles.

5 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.

And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was impeded in discourse, because the Jews stood up against him, and reviled, as he testified to them that Jesus is the Messiah.

6 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.

And he shook his garments, and said to them: Henceforth I am clean; I betake myself to the Gentiles.

7 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.

And he went away, and entered into the house of a certain man named Titus, one who feared God, and whose house adjoined the synagogue.

And Crispus, the president of the synagogue, believed on our Lord, he and all the members of his house. And many Corinthians gave ear, and believed in God and were baptized.

And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews assembled together against Paul; and they brought him before the judgment-seat,

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

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

14 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;

And when Paul requested that he might open his mouth and speak, Gallio said to the Jews: If your accusation, O Jews, related to any wrong done, or any fraud, or base act, I would listen to you suitably.

15 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.

But if the contests are about words, and about names, and concerning your law, ye must see to it among yourselves, for I am not disposed to be a judge of such matters.

16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.

And he repelled them from his judgment-seat.

And when Paul had been there many days, he bid adieu to the brethren, and departed by sea to go to Syria. And with him went Priscilla and Aquila, when he had shaved his head at Cenchrea, because he had vowed a vow.

And they came to Ephesus; and Paul entered the synagogue, and discoursed with the Jews.

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

And they requested him to tarry with them: but he could not be persuaded.

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

And Aquila and Priscilla he left at Ephesus, and he himself proceeded by sea and came to Caesarea. And he went up and saluted the members of the church, and went on to Antioch.

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

And when he had been there some days, he departed, and travelled from place to place in the regions of Phrygia and Galatia, establishing all the disciples.

And a certain man named Apollos, a Jew, a native of Alexandria, who was trained to eloquence, and well taught in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25 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;

He had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and was fervent in spirit; and he discoursed and taught fully respecting Jesus, while yet he knew nothing except the baptism of John.

26 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.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him to their house, and fully showed him the way of the Lord.

For he reasoned powerfully against the Jews, before the congregation; and showed from the scriptures, respecting Jesus, that he is the Messiah.
