1Paul worketh for his subsistence, and preacheth Christ at Corinth, first to the Jews, and, upon their opposing and blaspheming, to the Gentiles with more success: 9he is encouraged by the Lord in a vision, and abideth there a long time. 12The Jews accuse him before Gallio the deputy, who will have nothing to do with them. 18Paul passeth from city to city, confirming the disciples. 24Apollos, instructed more perfectly in the Christian doctrine by Aquila and Priscilla, preacheth it at Ephesus, and afterward in Achaia, with great efficacy.
1AFTER these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to aCorinth;
a 1Co. 1.2. 2Co. 1.1,23.
2And found a certain Jew named bAquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that cClaudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
b v.18,26. Ro. 16.3. 2Ti. 4.19. 1Co. 16.19. c ch. 11.28.
3And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and dwrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
d ch. 20.34. 1Co. 4.12. 2Co. 11.9; 12.13. 1Th. 2.9. 2Th. 3.8.

9oThen spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
o ch. 16.9; 23.11; 27.23,24. Je. 1.9,17-19. Eze. 2.6. Is. 58.1; 62.1.

13Saying, vThis fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to wthe law.
v ch. 17.7; 6.13; 24.5,6; 25.8. w v.15.
14And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, xIf it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
x ch. 25.11; 23.29; 25.11,18-20. Ro. 13.3.
15yBut if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, zlook ye to it ; for I will be no judge of such matters.
y ch. 23.29; 25.19. z Mat. 27.4. Jn. 18.31. Lu. 12.14.
16And ahe *drave them from the judgment seat.
*drave-drove.

20When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
