Paul Begins Ministry in Corinth

1

After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth.

2

And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome), he came to them.

3

And because he was of the same trade, he remained with them and wrought. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.)

4

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5

And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

6

But they gainsaying and blaspheming, he shook his garments and said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads: I am clean. From henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

7

And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue.

8

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

9

And the Lord said to Paul in the night, by a vision: Do not fear, but speak. And hold not thy peace,

10

Because I am with thee and no man shall set upon thee, to hurt thee. For I have much people in this city.

11

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