Acts 18:12-17

21st Century King James Version

¹² And when Gallio was deputy of Achaia, the Jews with one accord began an insurrection 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 about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would have it that I should bear with you.

¹⁵ But if it be a question of words and names and your own law, look ye to it; for I will not be judge of such matters.”

¹⁶ And he drove them from the judgment seat.

¹⁷ Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio was concerned about none of those things.
