Paul before Gallio

[While] Gallio [was] proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat. 13 “This [man] is persuading the [people] to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said

14 

But [just as] Paul was about to speak Gallio told the Jews,“If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, vvv it would be reasonable vvv for me to hear your [ complaint ]. 15 But since it is a dispute about words and names and vvv vvv your own law, settle [it] yourselves. For[fn] I refuse to be a judge of such things.” 16 And he drove them {away} from the judgment seat.

17 

At this, all the Greeks[fn] seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader [and] beat [him] in front of the judgment seat. [But] none of this was of concern to Gallio.
