Acts 18:5-11

New American Standard Bible

⁵But when ^(A)Silas and Timothy ^(B)came down from ^(C)Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, ^(D)testifying to the Jews that ^(E)Jesus was the ^[a]Christ. ⁶But when they resisted and blasphemed, he ^(F)shook out his garments and said to them, “Your ^(G)blood is ^[b]on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go ^(H)to the Gentiles.” ⁷Then he left ^[c]the synagogue and went to the house of a man named ^[d]Titius Justus, ^(I)a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. ⁸^(J)Crispus, ^(K)the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord ^(L)together with his entire household; and many of the ^(M)Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, were believing and being baptized. ⁹And the Lord said to Paul by ^(N)a vision at night, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent; ¹⁰for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” ¹¹And he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

International Standard Version

⁵But when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to the word^[a] as he emphatically assured the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah.^[b] ⁶But when they began to oppose him and insult him, he shook out his clothes in protest and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the gentiles.”

⁷Then he left that place and went to the home of a man named Titius^[c] Justus, who worshipped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue. ⁸Now Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, along with his whole family. Many Corinthians who heard Paul also believed and were baptized.

⁹One night, the Lord told Paul in a vision, “Stop being afraid to speak out! Don’t remain silent! ¹⁰For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you or harm you, because I have many people in this city.” ¹¹So Paul^[d] lived there for a year and a half and continued to teach the word of God among the people there.^[e]
