Acts 18 (WEBP)

[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] 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.
[12] But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
[13] saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
[14] But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
[15] but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
[16] So he drove them from the judgment seat.
[17] Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
[18] Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
[19] He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
[20] When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
[21] but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
[22] When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
[23] Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
[24] Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
[25] This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
[26] He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
[27] When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
[28] for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

Acts 18:18 The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”

[15] but if it be () a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye () to it; for I will be () () no judge of such matters.
[16] And he drave () them from the judgment seat.
[17] Then all the Greeks took () Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat () him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared () for none of those things.
[18] And Paul after this tarried () there yet a good while, and then took his leave () of the brethren, and sailed thence () into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn () his head in Cenchrea: for he had () a vow.
[19] And he came () to Ephesus, and left () them there: but he himself entered () into the synagogue, and reasoned with () the Jews.

[24] And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty () in the scriptures, came () to Ephesus.
[25] This man was () instructed in () the way of the Lord; and being fervent () in the spirit, he spake () and taught () diligently the things of the Lord, knowing () only the baptism of John.
[26] And he began () to speak boldly () in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, () they took () him unto them, and expounded () unto him the way of God more perfectly.
[27] And when he was disposed () to pass () into Achaia, the brethren wrote, () exhorting () the disciples to receive () him: who, when he was come, () helped them () much which had believed () through grace:
