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

But when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to the word[a] as he emphatically assured the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah.[b] But when they began to oppose him and insult him, he shook out his clothes in protest and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the gentiles.”

Then he left that place and went to the home of a man named Titius[c] Justus, who worshipped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue. Now Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, along with his whole family. Many Corinthians who heard Paul also believed and were baptized.

One night, the Lord told Paul in a vision, “Stop being afraid to speak out! Don’t remain silent! 10 For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you or harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11 So Paul[d] lived there for a year and a half and continued to teach the word of God among the people there.[e]
