18:1 After these things Paulos departed from Athenai, and came to Korinthos;
18:2 And found a certain Yehudi named Akúlas, born in Pontikos, lately come from Italy, with his wife Príska; (because that Klaudios had commanded all Yehudim to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
18:4 And he reasoned in the Shul every shabbat, and persuaded the Yehudim and the Yevanis.
18:5 And when Silas and Timotheos were come from Makedon, Paulos was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Yehudim [that] Yeshua (ישוע) [was] Moshiach.
18:6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Goyim.
18:7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man's] house, named Titios Ioústos, [one] that worshipped Elohim (אלהים), whose house joined hard to the Shul.
18:8 And Krispos, the chief ruler of the knesset, believed on Adonay with all his house; and many of the Korinthios hearing believed, and were immersed.
18:9 Then spake Adonay to Paulos in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
18:10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
18:11 And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of Elohim (אלהים) among them.
18:12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Yehudim made insurrection with one accord against Paulos, and brought him to the judgment seat,
18:13 Saying, This [fellow] persuadeth anashim to worship Elohim (אלהים) contrary to the law.
18:14 And when Paulos was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said unto the Yehudim, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O [ye] Yehudim, reason would that I should bear with you:
18:15 But if it be a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look ye [to it]; for I will be no judge of such [matters].
18:16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
18:17 Then all the Yevanis took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the Shul, and beat [him] before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18:18 And Paulos [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Príska and Akúlas; having shorn [his] head in Kegchreai: for he had a vow.
18:19 And he came to Ephesos, and left them there: but he himself entered into the Shul, and reasoned with the Yehudim.
18:20 When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
18:21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Yerushalayim: but I will return again unto you, if Elohim (אלהים) will. And he sailed from Ephesos.
18:22 And when he had landed at Kaisareia, and gone up, and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
18:23 And after he had spent some time [there], he departed, and went over [all] the country of Galatikos and Phrugia in order, strengthening all the taught ones.
18:24 And a certain Yehudi named Apollos, born at Alexandreus, an eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesos.
18:25 This man was instructed in the way of Adonay; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of Adonay, knowing only the immersion of Yochanan.
18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the Shul: whom when Akúlas and Príska had heard, they took him unto [them], and expounded unto him the way of Elohim (אלהים) more perfectly.
18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the taught ones to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
18:28 For he mightily convinced the Yehudim, [and that] publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Yeshua (ישוע) was Moshiach.
