Acts 18:12-17

New International Version

¹²While Gallio was proconsul^(A) of Achaia,^(B) the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment. ¹³“This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”

¹⁴Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. ¹⁵But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law^(C)—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.” ¹⁶So he drove them off. ¹⁷Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes^(D) the synagogue leader^(E) and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.

Acts 18:12-17

New American Standard Bible

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