gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
[30] And the times of this ignorance God winked
at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
[31] Because he hath appointed a day, in the
which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath
given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
[32] And when they heard of
the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
[33]
So Paul departed from among them.
[34] Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the
which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Acts.18
[1] After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
[2] And found a certain Jew named
Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded
all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
[3] And because he was of the same craft, he
abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
[4] And he reasoned in the
synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
[5] And when Silas and Timotheus
were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was
Christ.
[6] And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto
them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
[7] And
he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God,
whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
[8] And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed
on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
[9] Then
spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
[10] For
I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
[11] And
he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
[12] And when Gallio
was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to
the judgment seat,
[13] Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
[14] And
when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong
or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
[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.
[20]
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
[21] But bade them farewell,
saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you,
if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
[22] And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and
saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
[23] And after he had spent some time there, he departed,
and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
[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:
[28] For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures
that Jesus was Christ.
Acts.19
[1] And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts
came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
[2] He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost
since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy
Ghost.
[3] And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
