Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Christian Standard Bible
12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack against Paul and brought him to the tribunal.(A) 13 “This man,” they said, “is persuading people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 As Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or of a serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you Jews. 15 But if these are questions about words, names, and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”(B) 16 So he drove them from the tribunal. 17 And they all[a] seized Sosthenes,(C) the leader of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal, but none of these things mattered to Gallio.
