(A)When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was (B)compelled [a]by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. But (C)when they opposed him and blasphemed, (D)he shook his garments and said to them, (E)“Your blood be upon your own heads; (F)I am clean. (G)From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named [b]Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. (H)Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

Now (I)the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; 10 (J)for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.” 11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to be occupied with[a] the message, solemnly testifying to the Jews that the Christ[b] was Jesus. And when[c] they resisted and reviled him,[d] he shook out his[e] clothes and[f] said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!” And leaving there, he entered into the house of someone named[g] Titius Justus, a worshiper[h] of God whose house was next door to the synagogue. And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, when they[i] heard about it,[j] believed and were baptized. And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent, 10 because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because many people are mine in this city.” 11 So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
