Chapter 17, verse 33 - Chapter 18, verse 11
33
Thus Paul went out from among them.
34
But certain men joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Chapter 18
1
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2
He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
3
and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4
He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6
When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
7
He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9
The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent
10
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
11
He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
