Paul Begins Ministry in Corinth

1

And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,

2

and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife--because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome--he came to them,

3

and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft;

4

and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.

5

And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

6

and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken his garments, he said unto them, `Your blood is upon your head--I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.'

7

And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,

8

and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

9

And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;

10

because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'

11

and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
