Acts 17:29-18:7

New International Version

²⁹ “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.^{(A) 30} In the past God overlooked^(B) such ignorance,^(C) but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.^{(D) 31} For he has set a day when he will judge^(E) the world with justice^(F) by the man he has appointed.^(G) He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”^(H)

³² When they heard about the resurrection of the dead,^(I) some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” ³³ At that, Paul left the Council. ³⁴ Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus,^(J) also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.

In Corinth

18 After this, Paul left Athens^(K) and went to Corinth.^{(L) 2} There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla,^(M) because Claudius^(N) 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.^{(O) 4} Every Sabbath^(P) he reasoned in the synagogue,^(Q) trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

⁵ When Silas^(R) and Timothy^(S) came from Macedonia,^(T) Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.^{(U) 6} But when they opposed Paul and became abusive,^(V) he shook out his clothes in protest^(W) and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads!^(X) I am innocent of it.^(Y) From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”^(Z)

⁷ Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.^(AA)
