Acts 18:12-24

[12] And  when Gallio  of Achaia,  the Jews  made insurrection  with one accord against  Paul,  and  brought  him  to  the judgment seat,  [13] Saying,  This  fellow persuadeth  men  to worship  God  contrary  to the law.  [14] And  when Paul  was now about  to open  his mouth,  Gallio  said  unto  the Jews,  If  matter of wrong  or  wicked  lewdness,  ye Jews,  reason  would  that I should bear  [15] But  if  a question  of  words  and  names,  and  of  law,  will be  no  judge  [16] And  he drave  them  from  the judgment seat.  [17] Then  all  took  Sosthenes,  the chief ruler of the synagogue,  and beat  him before  the judgment seat.  And  Gallio  cared  for none  [18] And  Paul  after this tarried  there yet  a good  while,  and then took his leave  of the brethren,  and sailed thence  into  Syria,  and  with  him  Priscilla  and  Aquila;  having shorn  his head  in  Cenchrea:  for  he had  a vow.  [19] And  he came  to  Ephesus,  and  left  them there:  but  he himself  entered  into  the synagogue,  and reasoned with  the Jews.  [20] When  they  desired  him to tarry  longer  time  them,  he consented  not;  [21] But  farewell,  saying,  must  by all means  keep  this feast  that cometh  in  Jerusalem:  I will return  again  unto  if God  will.  And  he sailed  from  Ephesus.  [22] And  when he had landed  at  Caesarea,  and gone up,  and  saluted  the church,  he went down  to  Antioch.  [23] And  after he had spent  some  time  there, he departed,  and went over  all the country  of Galatia  and  Phrygia  in order,  strengthening  all  the disciples.  [24] And  a certain  Jew  named  Apollos,  born  at Alexandria,  an eloquent  man,  in  the scriptures,  came  to  Ephesus.
