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.

And after Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul spent all his time preaching the word. He testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. But when they opposed and insulted him, Paul shook the dust from his clothes and said, “Your blood is upon your own heads—I am innocent. From now on I will go preach to the Gentiles.”

Then he left and went to the home of Titius Justus, a Gentile who worshiped God and lived next door to the synagogue. Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, and everyone in his household believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also heard Paul, became believers, and were baptized.

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and told him, “Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t be silent! 10 For I am with you, and no one will attack and harm you, for many people in this city belong to me.” 11 So Paul stayed there for the next year and a half, teaching the word of God.
