After
this Paul* left Athens and went to Corinth. 2There he
found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had
recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because
Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul* went
to see them, 3and, because he was of the same trade,
he stayed with them, and they worked together?by trade
they were tentmakers. 4Every sabbath he would argue
in the synagogue and would try to convince Jews and
Greeks.
5
When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul
was occupied with proclaiming the word,* testifying
to the Jews that the Messiah* was Jesus. 6When they
opposed and reviled him, in protest he shook the dust
from his clothes* and said to them, ‘Your blood be
on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will
go to the Gentiles.’ 7Then he left the synagogue* and
went to the house of a man named Titius* Justus, a worshipper
of God; his house was next door to the synagogue. 8Crispus,
the official of the synagogue, became a believer in
the Lord, together with all his household; and many
of the Corinthians who heard Paul became believers and
were baptized. 9One night the Lord said to Paul in a
vision, ‘Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be
silent; 10for I am with you, and no one will lay a hand
on you to harm you, for there are many in this city
who are my people.’ 11He stayed there for a year and
six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made
a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal.
13They said, ‘This man is persuading people to worship
God in ways that are contrary to the law.’ 14Just as
Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, ‘If
it were a matter of crime or serious villainy, I would
be justified in accepting the complaint of you Jews;
15but since it is a matter of questions about words
and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I
do not wish to be a judge of these matters.’ 16And
he dismissed them from the tribunal. 17Then all of them*
seized Sosthenes, the official of the synagogue, and
beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no
attention to any of these things.
使徒行傳 18
章 1 這事以後、保羅離了雅典、來到哥林多。
2 遇見一個猶太人、名叫亞居拉、他生在本都．因為革老丟命猶太人都離開羅馬、新近帶著妻百基拉、從義大利來．保羅就投奔了他們。
3 他們本是製造帳棚為業．保羅因與他們同業、就和他他們同住作工。
4 每逢安息日、保羅在會堂裡辯論、勸化猶太人和希利尼人。
5 西拉和提摩太從馬其頓來的時候、保羅為道迫切、向猶太人證明耶穌是基督。
6 他們既抗拒、毀謗、保羅就抖著衣裳說、你們的罪歸到你們自己頭上、〔罪原文作血〕與我無干、〔原文作我卻乾淨〕從今以後、我要往外邦人那裡去、
7 於是離開那裡、到了一個人的家中、這人名叫提多猶士都、是敬拜 神的、他的家靠近會堂。
8 管會堂的基利司布和全家都信了主．還有許多哥林多人聽了、就相信受洗。
9 夜間主在異象中對保羅說、不要怕、只管講、不要閉口．
10 有我與你同在、必沒有人下手害你．因為在這城裡我有許多的百姓。
11 保羅在那裡住了一年零六個月、將 神的道教訓他們。
12 到迦流作亞該亞方伯的時候、猶太人同心起來攻擊保羅、拉他到公堂、
13 說、這個人勸人不按著律法敬拜 神。
14 保羅剛要開口、迦流就對猶太人說、你們這些猶太人、如果是為冤枉、或奸惡的事、我理當耐性聽你們．
15 但所爭論的、若是關乎言語、名目、和你們的律法、你們自己去辦罷．這樣的事我不願意審問。 16 就把他們攆出公堂。
17 眾人便揪住管會堂的所提尼、在堂前打他．這些事迦流都不管。
