ULT ACTs Chapter 18

18 After these things, having departed from Athens, he went to Corinth. 2 And having found a certain Jew, Aquila by name, a Pontian by birth, having recently come from Italy, also Priscilla, his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, he approached them, 3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and was working, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4 And he was reasoning in the synagogue on every Sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks. 5 But when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, to the Jews solemnly attesting Jesus to be the Christ. 6 But as they were opposing and insulting him, shaking out his garments, he said to them, “Your blood be upon your head! I am clean! From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 And having departed from there, he went into the house of a certain one worshiping God, Titius Justus by name, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue. 8 But Crispus, the synagogue leader, believed in the Lord with his whole house, and many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing and were being baptized. 9 And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not fear, but speak and do not be silent. 10 For I am with you, and no one will set upon you to harm you, for much people is to me in this city.” 11 So he stayed for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12 But when Gallio was governor of Achaia, the Jews rose up unanimously against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat, 13 saying, “This one persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.” 14 But when Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “O Jews, if indeed it was some crime or evil wrongdoing, by reason I would have endured you, 15 but if the questions are about word and names and your law, you will see yourselves. I do not want to be a judge of these things.” 16 And he sent them away from the judgment seat. 17 But having seized Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, they were all beating him before the judgment seat, and none of these things mattered to Gallio.

18 But Paul, having stayed yet many days, leaving the brothers, sailed to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila also being with him, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow. 19 And they came down to Ephesus and them he left there, but he himself, having gone into the synagogue, reasoned with the Jews. 20 But when they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent. 21 But leaving them and saying, “I will return again to you, God being willing,” he put to sea from Ephesus.

22 And having come down to Caesarea, having gone up and having greeted the church, he went down to Antioch. 23 And having stayed some time, he departed, going through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in succession, strengthening all the disciples.

24 Now a certain Jewish man, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came down to Ephesus, being mighty in the Scriptures. 25 He had been taught the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but hearing him, Priscilla and Aquila took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he desired to pass over into Achaia, the brothers, encouraging him, wrote to the disciples to welcome him, who, having arrived, greatly helped the ones having believed by grace. 28 For he was powerfully refuting the Jews in public, showing Jesus to be the Christ by the Scriptures.
