⁵ 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. ⁶ 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!” ⁷ 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. ⁸ 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. ⁹ 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.
