Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of our fathers the apostles, may their blessings be with us.
Acts 18 : 1 - 11
Chapter 18
| 1 | After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.
|
| 2 | And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them.
|
| 3 | So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.
|
| 4 | And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
|
| 5 | When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
|
| 6 | But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
|
| 7 | And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
|
| 8 | Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.
|
| 9 | Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;
|
| 10 | for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city."
|
| 11 | And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
|
The word of the Lord shall grow, multiply, be mighty, and be confirmed, in the holy Church of God.
Amen.
