¹² But while Gallio was ^(A)proconsul of ^(B)Achaia, ^(C)the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before ^(D)the judgment seat, ¹³ saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to ^(E)the law.” ¹⁴ But when Paul was about to ^(F)open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you; ¹⁵ but if there are ^(G)questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I am not willing to be a judge of these matters.” ¹⁶ And he drove them away from ^(H)the judgment seat. ¹⁷ And they all took hold of ^(I)Sosthenes, ^(J)the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of ^(K)the judgment seat. But Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.
