But when (A)Silas and Timothy (B)came down from (C)Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly (D)bearing witness to the Jews that (E)Jesus is the [a]Christ. But when they resisted and blasphemed, he (F)shook out his garments and said to them, “Your (G)blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go (H)to the Gentiles.” Then he left there and went to the house of a man named [b]Titius Justus, a (I)God-fearer, whose house was next to the synagogue. (J)And Crispus, (K)the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord (L)with all his household, and many of the (M)Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized. And the Lord said to Paul in the night by (N)a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent; 10 for I am with you, and no man will lay a hand on you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” 11 And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Once Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. When they opposed and slandered him, he shook the dust from his clothes in protest and said to them, “You are responsible for your own fates! I’m innocent! From now on I’ll go to the Gentiles!” He left the synagogue and went next door to the home of Titius Justus, a Gentile God-worshipper. Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his entire household came to believe in the Lord. Many Corinthians believed and were baptized after listening to Paul.

One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, “Don’t be afraid. Continue speaking. Don’t be silent. 10 I’m with you and no one who attacks you will harm you, for I have many people in this city.” 11 So he stayed there for eighteen months, teaching God’s word among them.
