Acts 18 (CNT) — Codex Sacra

¹ After these things departing from Athens he went into Korinth. ² And finding a certain Judaean named Akulas, of Pontus by birth, recently having come from Italy, and Priskilla his wife, on account of Klaudios ordering all of the Judaeans to depart from Rome, he went with them ³ and because being in the same trade he abode with them and they worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. ⁴ And he argued in the assembly hall during each Sabbath and persuaded Judaeans and Greeks. ⁵ And as both Silas and Timotheos came down from Makedonia, Paul was impelled by the Word, affirming to the Judaeans Yahshua to be the Christ. ⁶ But upon their opposition and blaspheming, shaking off the garments he said to them "Your blood is upon your heads! I now, clean of this, shall go to the people!" ⁷ And removing from there he went into a house of someone named Titios Ioustos, a worshiper of Yahweh whose house was abutting the assembly hall. ⁸ And Krispos the leader of the assembly hall believed in the Prince with his whole house, and many of the Korinthians hearing believed and were immersed. ⁹ And in the night the Prince said to Paul in a vision "Do not fear, rather speak and do not be silent, ¹⁰ because I am with you and no one shall make an attempt upon you for which to do you evil, since many people are with Me in this city." ¹¹ And he sat for a year and six months teaching among them the Word of Yahweh. ¹² Then with Gallion being proconsul of Achaia, the Judaeans with one accord rose up against Paul and led him before the judgment seat ¹³ saying that "Contrary to the law he convinces men to worship Yahweh!" ¹⁴ And Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallion said to the Judaeans: "Now if there was any injustice or wicked crime, O Judaeans, according to reason I would support you. ¹⁵ But if it is disputes about words and names and the law according to you, you see to them. I have no desire to be a judge of these things." ¹⁶ And he drove them away from the judgment seat. ¹⁷ Then they all taking Sosthenes the leader of the assembly hall, beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallion cared for not any of these things. ¹⁸ Then Paul remaining thereafter many days with the brethren, making arrangements sailed away to Suria, and Priskilla and Akulas with him, cutting the hair from his head in Kenchreae, for he had a vow. ¹⁹ And they arrived in Ephesos, and he left them, then he himself entering into the assembly hall conversed with the Judaeans. ²⁰ And upon their asking him to remain for a longer time, he did not assent, ²¹ rather making arrangements and saying "Again I shall return to you, Yahweh willing," he set sail from Ephesos. ²² And coming back into Caesareia, going up and greeting the assembly he went down into Antiocheia. ²³ And spending some time he departed, passing through successively the land of Galatia and Phrugia, confirming all of the students. ²⁴ And a certain Judaean name Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, arrived in Ephesos, who was capable in the writings. ²⁵ He was instructed in the way of the Prince and being fervent in spirit he spoke and taught precisely the things concerning Yahshua, knowing only the immersion of Iohannes. ²⁶ And he began to speak openly in the assembly hall. And Priskilla and Akulas hearing him took him aside and more precisely exhibited the way of Yahweh to him. ²⁷ And upon his wishing to pass through to Achaia, the brethren wrote to the students urging them to accept him, who arriving greatly helped those who believed through favor. ²⁸ For vigorously did he thoroughly confute the Judaeans in public, exhibiting through the writings Yahshua to be the Christ.
