In Corinth Paul Teaches The Gentiles For 18 Months

18 After these things, having departed from Athens, he went to Corinth. ² And having found a certain Jew— Aquila by name, a Pontian by nationality, having recently come from Italy because Claudius^[a] had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome— and Priscilla his wife, he went to them. ³ And because of being the same-trade, he was staying with them and working— for they were tent-makers by trade. ⁴ And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuading Jews and Greeks. ⁵ But when both Silas and Timothy came^[b] down from Macedonia, Paul was occupying-himself with the word^[c], solemnly-testifying to the Jews that the Christ is Jesus. ⁶ But while they were opposing and blaspheming, he said to them, having shaken-out his garments, “Your blood be upon your head; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles”. ⁷ And having passed on from there, he entered into the house of a certain one worshiping God—Titius Justus by name— whose house was bordering^[d] on the synagogue. ⁸ And Crispus, the synagogue-official, believed in the Lord with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians hearing were believing and being baptized. ⁹ And the Lord said to Paul during the night through a vision, “Do not be afraid, but be speaking and do not be silent— ¹⁰ because I am with you, and no one will set-upon you to harm you; because there is a large people for Me in this city”. ¹¹ And he sat for a year and six months^[e], teaching the word of God among them.

¹¹ And the Pharisees came out and began to debate^[a] with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. ¹² And having sighed-deeply in His spirit, He says “Why is this generation seeking a sign? Truly I say to you, a sign will never^[b] be given to this generation”.

Jesus Warns The Disciples To Beware of The Leaven of The Pharisees

¹³ And having left them, having again gotten into the boat, He went to the other side. ¹⁴ And they forgot to take bread. And except one loaf, they were not having any with them in the boat. ¹⁵ And He was giving orders to them, saying “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod”. ¹⁶ And they were discussing with one another that they did not have bread. ¹⁷ And having known it, He says to them “Why are you discussing that you do not have bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Do you have your heart hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, are you not seeing? And having ears, are you not hearing? And do you not remember?— ¹⁹ When I broke the five loaves for the five-thousand, how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?” They say to Him, “Twelve”. ²⁰ “When I broke the seven loaves for the four-thousand, the fillings of how many large-baskets of fragments did you pick up?” And they say to Him, “Seven”. ²¹ And He was saying to them, “Do you not yet understand?”
