And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal,

saying--`Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;'

and Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, `If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,

but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves to it , for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,'

and he drave them from the tribunal;

and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating him before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.
