Paul Begins Ministry in Corinth

1

After these thinges, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinthus,

2

And found a certaine Iewe named Aquila, borne in Pontus, lately come from Italie, and his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Iewes to depart from Rome) and he came vnto them.

3

And because hee was of the same crafte, he abode with them and wrought (for their crafte was to make tentes.)

4

And he disputed in the Synagogue euery Sabbath day, and exhorted the Iewes, and the Grecians.

5

Now when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul, forced in spirit, testified to the Iewes that Iesus was the Christ.

6

And when they resisted and blasphemed, he shooke his raiment, and saide vnto them, Your blood be vpon your owne head: I am cleane: from henceforth will I goe vnto the Gentiles.

7

So he departed thence, and entred into a certaine mans house, named Iustus, a worshipper of God, whose house ioyned hard to the Synagogue.

8

And Crispus the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, beleeued in the Lord with all his housholde: and many of the Corinthians hearing it, beleeued and were baptized.

9

Then saide the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Feare not, but speake, and holde not thy peace.

10

For I am with thee, and no man shall lay handes on thee to hurt thee: for I haue much people in this citie.

11

So he continued there a yeere and six moneths, and taught ye worde of God among them.
