\subsection{Acts 18}
|
|
\VS{1} After these [things], having left from Athens, he came to Corinth.
|
|
\VS{2} And having
|
|
found [a] certain Jew by name Akylla, [born in] Ponticus, and Priskilla his wife, being
|
|
recently come from Italy, because of Claudius having commanded all the Jews
|
|
to be departing from Rome, he came to them,
|
|
\VS{3} and because of practicing
|
|
the same trade, he abided with them and he was working, for they were tent
|
|
makers by trade.
|
|
\VS{4} Now he was speaking in the synagogue every Sabbath,
|
|
and he was persuading both Jews and Greeks.
|
|
\VS{5} Now as Silas and Timothy
|
|
came down from Macedonia, Paul was preoccupied with the word, witnessing to
|
|
the Jews [that] the Christ is Jesus.
|
|
\VS{6} But when they were opposing
|
|
[themselves] and slandering [God], [Paul] having shaken out [his] garments said to them: Your blood [is]
|
|
upon your [own] head. I, clean from it, will now go to the nations\footnote{i.e.
|
|
the Gentiles}.
|
|
\VS{7} And having gone from there, he came to the house of a
|
|
certain Titus Justus by name, of [those] worshipping God, whose house was next door
|
|
to the synagogue.
|
|
\VS{8} Now Krispus, the chief of the synagogue, believed
|
|
in the Lord with his whole house, and many of the Corinthians, having heard,
|
|
were believing and were being baptized.
|
|
\VS{9} Now the Lord said to Paul in
|
|
[the] night during [a] vision: Be not fearing, but be speaking and be not silent.
|
|
\VS{10} For I am with you, and no one will lay hold [of you] to do you evil, for
|
|
many people are to me in this city.
|
|
\VS{11} So he sat [a] year and six months
|
|
teaching among them the word of God.
|
|
\VS{12} Now Gallios being proconsul of
|
|
Achaia, the Jews rose up with one purpose against Paul and brought him to
|
|
the judgment seat,
|
|
\VS{13} saying that: This [one] persuades men to worship God
|
|
contrary to the law.
|
|
\VS{14} But while Paul was [about] to be opening his mouth,
|
|
Gallios said to the Jews: If on the one there is some injustice or wicked\fnPoneros{}
|
|
villainy, O Jews, I would endure according to your law.
|
|
\VS{15} But if on
|
|
the other hand [the] issues are concerning word and names and law according to
|
|
you, you will see [to it], for I do want to be judge of these [things]?
|
|
\VS{16} And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
|
|
\VS{17} But all having taken
|
|
Sosthenes, the chief of the synagogue, they were beating him before the
|
|
judgment seat; and none of this was [a] concern to Gallius.
|
|
\VS{18} Now Paul
|
|
yet abiding several days, having taken leave of the brothers, he sailed to
|
|
Syria, and with him Priskilla and Akilla, shearing his head in Kegchrea ---
|
|
for he had [a] vow.
|
|
\VS{19} So they attained to Ephesus, and he left them
|
|
there, but he having entered into the synagogue was speaking to the Jews.
|
|
\VS{20} But while they were asking\fnErotao{} [him] to remain [a] longer time, he did not consent,
|
|
\VS{21} but having taken leave and having said: Again will we return
|
|
to you while God wishes [it], he was brought from Ephesus.
|
|
\VS{22} And arrived in Caesarea, having gone up and having greeted the
|
|
assembly\fnEkklhsia{}, he went down to Antioch.
|
|
\VS{23} And having spent some time [there] he went out, going
|
|
through one after another the Galatik region and Phrygia, strengthening all
|
|
the disciples.
|
|
|
|
\VS{24} Now a certain Jew, Apollo by name, born in Alexandria, [a] learned man,
|
|
arrived in Ephesus, being able in the scriptures.
|
|
\VS{25} This [one] was
|
|
instructing the way of the Lord, and boiling\footnote{or ``throbbing'',
|
|
``seething''} in the spirit, he was speaking and teaching carefully
|
|
concerning Jesus, having known only the baptism of John.
|
|
\VS{26} And this
|
|
[one] was beginning to be speaking openly in the synagogue. So having heard him,
|
|
Priskilla and Akylla took him aside, and more carefully\footnote{or
|
|
``accurately''} explained the way of God.
|
|
\VS{27} Now while he was wanting
|
|
to go through to Achaia, having been impelled, the brothers wrote to the
|
|
disciples to receive him; who having arrived, he assisted much to those
|
|
having believed through grace.
|
|
\VS{28} For he was vigorously refuting the
|
|
Jews publicly, having demonstrated through the scriptures [that] Jesus is the
|
|
Christ.
