Gallio refused to judge Paul.

Acts 18:12-17

12 When Gallio was the Roman governor of Achaia province, the Jewish leaders [SYN] there got together and seized Paul. They took him before Gallio and accused him, 13 saying, “This man is teaching people a false religion, leading them to worship God in ways that are contrary to our Jewish laws.” 14 When Paul was about to speak [MTY] to defend himself, Gallio said to the Jews, “If this man had acted deceitfully or disobeyed any of our Roman laws, I would listen patiently to what you Jews want to tell me. 15 However, you are merely arguing about words and names and your own Jewish laws, so you yourselves need to resolve this. I refuse to judge these things!” 16 After Gallio had said that, he commanded some soldiers/guards that they expel those Jewish leaders from the courtroom. 17 Then the mob outside grabbed the leader of the Jewish meeting place, Sosthenes because they considered that he was responsible for those accusations against Paul. They beat him, right there in front of the courthouse. But Gallio did nothing about it.
