Paulo em Corinto e em Éfeso. Volta para Jerusalém
18 Depois disto, partiu Paulo de Atenas e chegou a Corinto. 2 E, achando um certo judeu por nome Áquila, natural do Ponto, que havia pouco tinha vindo da Itália, e Priscila, sua mulher (pois Cláudio tinha mandado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma), se ajuntou com eles, 3 e, como era do mesmo ofício, ficou com eles, e trabalhava; pois tinham por ofício fazer tendas. 4 E todos os sábados disputava na sinagoga e convencia a judeus e gregos.
5 Quando Silas e Timóteo desceram da Macedônia, foi Paulo impulsionado pela palavra, testificando aos judeus que Jesus era o Cristo. 6 Mas, resistindo e blasfemando eles, sacudiu as vestes e disse-lhes: O vosso sangue seja sobre a vossa cabeça; eu estou limpo e, desde agora, parto para os gentios. 7 E, saindo dali, entrou em casa de um homem chamado Tito Justo, que servia a Deus e cuja casa estava junto da sinagoga. 8 E Crispo, principal da sinagoga, creu no Senhor com toda a sua casa; também muitos dos coríntios, ouvindo-o, creram e foram batizados. 9 E disse o Senhor, em visão, a Paulo: Não temas, mas fala e não te cales; 10 porque eu sou contigo, e ninguém lançará mão de ti para te fazer mal, pois tenho muito povo nesta cidade. 11 E ficou ali um ano e seis meses, ensinando entre eles a palavra de Deus.
12 Mas, sendo Gálio procônsul da Acaia, levantaram-se os judeus concordemente contra Paulo e o levaram ao tribunal, 13 dizendo: Este persuade os homens a servir a Deus contra a lei. 14 E, querendo Paulo abrir a boca, disse Gálio aos judeus: Se houvesse, ó judeus, algum agravo ou crime enorme, com razão vos sofreria; 15 mas, se a questão é de palavras, e de nomes, e da lei que entre vós há, vede-o vós mesmos; porque eu não quero ser juiz dessas coisas! 16 E expulsou-os do tribunal. 17 Então, todos agarraram Sóstenes, principal da sinagoga, e o feriram diante do tribunal; porém, a Gálio nada destas coisas o incomodava.
18 E Paulo, ficando ainda ali muitos dias, despediu-se dos irmãos e dali navegou para a Síria e, com ele, Priscila e Áquila, tendo rapado a cabeça em Cencreia, porque tinha voto. 19 E chegou a Éfeso e deixou-os ali; mas ele, entrando na sinagoga, disputava com os judeus. 20 E, rogando-lhe eles que ficasse por mais algum tempo, não conveio nisso. 21 Antes, se despediu deles, dizendo: Querendo Deus, outra vez voltarei a vós. E partiu de Éfeso. 22 E, chegando a Cesareia, subiu a Jerusalém e, saudando a igreja, desceu a Antioquia. 23 E, estando ali algum tempo, partiu, passando sucessivamente pela província da Galácia e da Frígia, confirmando a todos os discípulos.
Apolo em Éfeso e em Corinto
24 E chegou a Éfeso um certo judeu chamado Apolo, natural de Alexandria, varão eloquente e poderoso nas Escrituras. 25 Este era instruído no caminho do Senhor; e, fervoroso de espírito, falava e ensinava diligentemente as coisas do Senhor, conhecendo somente o batismo de João. 26 Ele começou a falar ousadamente na sinagoga. Quando o ouviram Priscila e Áquila, o levaram consigo e lhe declararam mais pontualmente o caminho de Deus. 27 Querendo ele passar à Acaia, o animaram os irmãos e escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem; o qual, tendo chegado, aproveitou muito aos que pela graça criam. 28 Porque com grande veemência convencia publicamente os judeus, mostrando pelas Escrituras que Jesus era o Cristo.

Em Corinto
18 Depois disto, Paulo saiu de Atenas e foi para Corinto, 2 onde conheceu um judeu chamado Áquila, nascido no Ponto e que chegara recentemente da Itália com a sua mulher, Priscila. Tinham sido expulsos da Itália, quando Cláudio César ordenou que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma. 3 Paulo vivia e trabalhava com eles, pois, como ele próprio, tinham o ofício de fazer tendas.
4 Todos os sábados Paulo ia para a sinagoga, tentando convencer tanto judeus como gregos. 5 Depois de Silas e Timóteo chegarem da Macedónia, Paulo passava o seu tempo a pregar e a provar aos judeus que Jesus era o Cristo. 6 Mas quando os judeus se lhe opuseram e o insultaram, Paulo sacudiu a sua capa em sinal de protesto e disse: “Vocês recusam-se a aceitar e permanecem perdidos! Pois agora a responsabilidade é inteiramente vossa[a]. Quanto a mim, estou inocente do que vier a acontecer-vos e passarei a ir pregar aos gentios.”
7 Depois disto, ficou em casa de Tito Justo, que adorava a Deus e vivia ao lado da sinagoga. 8 Crispo, líder da sinagoga, e toda a sua casa creram no Senhor. E muitas outras pessoas em Corinto que o ouviram creram e foram batizadas.
9 Certa noite, o Senhor falou a Paulo numa visão: “Nada receies! Fala! Não desistas! 10 Estou contigo e ninguém te pode fazer mal. Há nesta cidade muita gente que me pertence.” 11 Assim, Paulo ficou ali mais um ano e meio, ensinando a palavra de Deus.
12 Contudo, quando Gálio se tornou governador da Acaia, os judeus uniram-se contra Paulo e levaram-no à presença do governador para ser julgado, 13 acusando-o: “Este convence os homens a adorarem a Deus de uma forma contrária à lei.” 14 Todavia, justamente quando Paulo ia começar a sua defesa, Gálion voltou-se para os acusadores e disse-lhes: “Escutem, judeus! Se neste caso houvesse matéria de crime, ver-me-ia obrigado a ouvir-vos. 15 Mas uma vez que se trata de uma questão de palavras e nomes, e da vossa Lei judaica, encarreguem-se vocês do caso. Não estou interessado em ser juiz dessas coisas.” 16 E expulsou-os do tribunal. 17 Então agarraram em Sóstenes, o líder da sinagoga, e espancaram-no diante do tribunal, mas Gálion não ligou a menor importância.
Priscila, Áquila e Apolo
18 Paulo ficou na cidade de Corinto ainda vários dias e, despedindo-se dos cristãos, embarcou para a costa da Síria, levando consigo Priscila e Áquila. Em Cencreia tinha rapado a cabeça, de acordo com o costume judaico, pois fizera um voto. 19 Chegado ao porto de Éfeso, deixou os outros em Éfeso, foi à sinagoga e ali argumentou com os judeus sobre o evangelho. 20 Estes pediram-lhe que ficasse mais alguns dias, mas Paulo não aceitou a proposta. 21 “Tenho forçosamente de estar em Jerusalém para as festas”, disse. No entanto, prometeu regressar mais tarde a Éfeso, se Deus o permitisse. E assim continuou a viagem. 22 A próxima paragem foi no porto de Cesareia. Dali, foi visitar a igreja em Jerusalém, seguindo depois para Antioquia. 23 Após passar ali algum tempo, tornou a partir para a província da Ásia, atravessando a Galácia e a Frígia, visitando todos os discípulos, animando-os.
24 Sucedeu que acabara de chegar a Éfeso, vindo de Alexandria no Egito, um judeu chamado Apolo, que conhecia bem as Escrituras. 25 Tinha sido instruído sobre o caminho do Senhor e falava e ensinava os outros com grande entusiasmo no espírito e com exatidão acerca de Jesus. Contudo, conhecia apenas o batismo de João. 26 Quando Priscila e Áquila o ouviram pregar com ousadia na sinagoga, convidaram-no para a sua casa e explicaram-lhe mais exatamente o caminho de Deus.
27 Apolo tinha a intenção de ir à Acaia, ideia que os discípulos encorajaram. Escreveram, até, aos cristãos dessa região, recomendando-lhes que o aceitassem com agrado. Chegado à Acaia, Apolo ajudou grandemente os que tinham recebido a fé através da graça, 28 pois derrubava com poder todos os argumentos dos judeus em debate público, mostrando pelas Escrituras que Jesus era, de facto, o Cristo.

Corinth
18 1-4 After Athens, Paul went to Corinth. That is where he discovered Aquila, a Jew born in Pontus, and his wife, Priscilla. They had just arrived from Italy, part of the general expulsion of Jews from Rome ordered by Claudius. Paul moved in with them, and they worked together at their common trade of tentmaking. But every Sabbath he was at the meeting place, doing his best to convince both Jews and Greeks about Jesus.
5-6 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was able to give all his time to preaching and teaching, doing everything he could to persuade the Jews that Jesus was in fact God’s Messiah. But no such luck. All they did was argue contentiously and contradict him at every turn. Totally exasperated, Paul had finally had it with them and gave it up as a bad job. “Have it your way, then,” he said. “You’ve made your bed; now lie in it. From now on I’m spending my time with the other nations.”
7-8 He walked out and went to the home of Titius Justus, a God-fearing man who lived right next to the Jews’ meeting place. But Paul’s efforts with the Jews weren’t a total loss, for Crispus, the meeting-place president, put his trust in the Master. His entire family believed with him.
8-11 In the course of listening to Paul, a great many Corinthians believed and were baptized. One night the Master spoke to Paul in a dream: “Keep it up, and don’t let anyone intimidate or silence you. No matter what happens, I’m with you and no one is going to be able to hurt you. You have no idea how many people I have on my side in this city.” That was all he needed to stick it out. He stayed another year and a half, faithfully teaching the Word of God to the Corinthians.
12-13 But when Gallio was governor of Achaia province, the Jews got up a campaign against Paul, hauled him into court, and filed charges: “This man is seducing people into acts of worship that are illegal.”
14-16 Just as Paul was about to defend himself, Gallio interrupted and said to the Jews, “If this was a matter of criminal conduct, I would gladly hear you out. But it sounds to me like one more Jewish squabble, another of your endless hairsplitting quarrels over religion. Take care of it on your own time. I can’t be bothered with this nonsense,” and he cleared them out of the courtroom.
17 Now the street rabble turned on Sosthenes, the new meeting-place president, and beat him up in plain sight of the court. Gallio didn’t raise a finger. He could not have cared less.
Ephesus
18 Paul stayed a while longer in Corinth, but then it was time to take leave of his friends. Saying his good-byes, he sailed for Syria, Priscilla and Aquila with him. Before boarding the ship in the harbor town of Cenchrea, he had his head shaved as part of a vow he had taken.
19-21 They landed in Ephesus, where Priscilla and Aquila got off and stayed. Paul left the ship briefly to go to the meeting place and preach to the Jews. They wanted him to stay longer, but he said he couldn’t. But after saying good-bye, he promised, “I’ll be back, God willing.”
21-22 From Ephesus he sailed to Caesarea. He greeted the church there, and then went on to Antioch, completing the journey.
23 After spending a considerable time with the Antioch Christians, Paul set off again for Galatia and Phrygia, retracing his old tracks, one town after another, putting fresh heart into the disciples.
24-26 A man named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a Jew, born in Alexandria, Egypt, and a terrific speaker, eloquent and powerful in his preaching of the Scriptures. He was well-educated in the way of the Master and fiery in his enthusiasm. Apollos was accurate in everything he taught about Jesus up to a point, but he only went as far as the baptism of John. He preached with power in the meeting place. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and told him the rest of the story.
27-28 When Apollos decided to go on to Achaia province, his Ephesian friends gave their blessing and wrote a letter of recommendation for him, urging the disciples there to welcome him with open arms. The welcome paid off: Apollos turned out to be a great help to those who had become believers through God’s immense generosity. He was particularly effective in public debate with the Jews as he brought out proof after convincing proof from the Scriptures that Jesus was in fact God’s Messiah.

In Corinth
18 After this, Paul left Athens(A) and went to Corinth.(B) 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla,(C) because Claudius(D) had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.(E) 4 Every Sabbath(F) he reasoned in the synagogue,(G) trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
5 When Silas(H) and Timothy(I) came from Macedonia,(J) Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.(K) 6 But when they opposed Paul and became abusive,(L) he shook out his clothes in protest(M) and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads!(N) I am innocent of it.(O) From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(P)
7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.(Q) 8 Crispus,(R) the synagogue leader,(S) and his entire household(T) believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:(U) “Do not be afraid;(V) keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you,(W) and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.(X)
12 While Gallio was proconsul(Y) of Achaia,(Z) the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment. 13 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. 15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law(AA)—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.” 16 So he drove them off. 17 Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes(AB) the synagogue leader(AC) and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.
Priscilla, Aquila and Apollos
18 Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters(AD) and sailed for Syria,(AE) accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.(AF) Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae(AG) because of a vow he had taken.(AH) 19 They arrived at Ephesus,(AI) where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to spend more time with them, he declined. 21 But as he left, he promised, “I will come back if it is God’s will.”(AJ) Then he set sail from Ephesus. 22 When he landed at Caesarea,(AK) he went up to Jerusalem and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch.(AL)
23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia(AM) and Phrygia,(AN) strengthening all the disciples.(AO)
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos,(AP) a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus.(AQ) He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor[a](AR) and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.(AS) 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila(AT) heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
27 When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia,(AU) the brothers and sisters(AV) encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. 28 For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures(AW) that Jesus was the Messiah.(AX)
