Počiatky kresťanstva v Korinte
18 Potom Pavol opustil Atény a prišiel do Korintu.
2 Tam sa zoznámil so židovskými manželmi Akvilom a Priscilou. Akvila bol rodák z Pontu, nedávno sa prisťahoval aj s manželkou z Itálie. Cisár Klaudius totiž vydal rozkaz, aby všetci Židia opustili Rím. Pavol u nich býval aj pracoval,
3 lebo mali rovnaké remeslo ako on -- vyrábali stany.
4 Každú sobotu vyučoval v synagóge a usiloval sa získať Židov aj Grékov.
5 Keď však došli do Macedónska Sílas a Timotej, venoval sa Pavol výlučne šíreniu evanjelia a presviedčal Židov, že Ježiš je zasľúbený Mesiáš.
6 No keď mu Židia odporovali a posmešne sa vyjadrovali o Kristovi, vytriasol si prach z odevu na znamenie, že s nimi nič nechce mať, a povedal: Ak zahyniete, sami za to ponesiete zodpovednosť. To nebude moja vina. Odteraz sa budem venovať pohanom."
7 Potom sa presťahoval k Títovi Justovi, ktorý býval hneď vedľa synagógy. Justus bol pohan, ktorý uveril v Boha.
8 Po nejakom čase uveril aj predstavený synagógy Krispos aj s celou svojou rodinou. Aj mnohí ďalší z Korintu uverili a dali sa pokrstiť.
9 Jednej noci sa mu ukázal vo videní Pán a povedal mu: Neboj sa! Len smelo hovor a nemlč!
10 Veď ja som s tebou a nikto ti neublíži. Mnohí tu v Korinte patria ku mne."
11 A tak zostal Pavol ešte pol druha roka v Korinte a hlásal tam Božie slovo.
12 Ale keď sa stal rímskym miestodržiteľom v Achajsku Gallio, Židia sa spolčili proti Pavlovi, predviedli ho pred súd
13 a obžalovali ho: Tento muž navádza ľudí, aby uctievali Boha spôsobom, ktorý sa prieči rímskym zákonom."
14 No len čo Pavol otvoril ústa a chcel sa obhajovať, Gallio sa obrátil k jeho obžalobcom: Keby šlo o nejaké bezprávie alebo zločin, vypočul by som vás.
15 Ale spory o slová, mená osôb alebo vaše židovské zákony, to si vyriešte sami. Do toho sa vám miešať nemienim."
16 A vyhnal žalobcov zo súdnej siene.
17 Tu sa všetci vrhli na Sostena, nového predstaveného židovskej synagógy, a bili ho rovno pred Galliovými očami. Ale on do toho nezasiahol.
Návrat do Antiochie a Pavlova tretia misijná cesta
18 Pavol tam zostal ešte dlhší čas. Potom sa rozlúčil s bratmi a pobral sa loďou do Sýrie. Spolu s ním odišli aj manželia Priscila a Akvila. Predtým si dal Pavol v Kenchreách, východnom korintskom prístave, ostrihať vlasy podľa židovského zvyku, lebo sa načas zaviazal dodržiavať nazarejský sľub (nestrihať si vlasy a nepiť opojné nápoje).
19 V Efeze sa s priateľmi rozlúčil a pobral sa do synagógy, kde besedoval so Židmi.
20 Prehovárali ho, aby sa u nich zdržal dlhšie, ale neprijal ich pozvanie.
21 No pri lúčení im povedal: Rád by som bol na sviatky v Jeruzaleme. Ale ak to bude Božia vôľa, ešte sa k vám vrátim."
22 Z Efezu sa odplavil do Cézarey v Judsku a odtiaľ sa pešo dostal do Jeruzalema. Tam navštívil miestnych kresťanov a odcestoval do sýrskej Antiochie.
23 Strávil tam nejaký čas a znova sa pobral do Galácie a Frýgie. Ponavštevoval rad za radom všetky zbory, povzbudzoval veriacich a pomáhal im rásť vo viere.
Apolo v Efeze a Korinte
24 Medzitým prišiel do Efezu Žid z Alexandrie, ktorý sa volal Apolo. Bol to výborný rečník a znalec Starého zákona.
25 Už sa aj zoznámil s Ježišovým učením a nadšene a správne hovoril o ňom, hoci ešte nevedel všetko a poznal iba krst Jánov.
26 So zápalom kázal o ňom aj v efezskej synagóge. Tam ho počuli Priscilla a Akvila, pozvali ho k sebe a dôkladnejšie mu vysvetlili Kristovo evanjelium.
27 Apolo sa potom rozhodol ísť do Grécka a zvestovať radostnú správu. Efezskí kresťania mu to schvaľovali a dali mu aj odporúčajúci list pre tamojších kresťanov, aby ho srdečne prijali. Keď ta prišiel, Boh jeho obdarovanie použil na posilnenie veriacich,
28 lebo vedel vynikajúco vyvracať argumenty Židov a na základe Písma dokazoval, že Ježiš je naozaj Mesiáš.

In Corinth
18 After this, Paul left Athens(A) and went to Corinth.(B) 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla,(C) because Claudius(D) had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.(E) 4 Every Sabbath(F) he reasoned in the synagogue,(G) trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
5 When Silas(H) and Timothy(I) came from Macedonia,(J) Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.(K) 6 But when they opposed Paul and became abusive,(L) he shook out his clothes in protest(M) and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads!(N) I am innocent of it.(O) From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(P)
7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.(Q) 8 Crispus,(R) the synagogue leader,(S) and his entire household(T) believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:(U) “Do not be afraid;(V) keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you,(W) and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.(X)
12 While Gallio was proconsul(Y) of Achaia,(Z) the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment. 13 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. 15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law(AA)—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.” 16 So he drove them off. 17 Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes(AB) the synagogue leader(AC) and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.
Priscilla, Aquila and Apollos
18 Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters(AD) and sailed for Syria,(AE) accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.(AF) Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae(AG) because of a vow he had taken.(AH) 19 They arrived at Ephesus,(AI) where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to spend more time with them, he declined. 21 But as he left, he promised, “I will come back if it is God’s will.”(AJ) Then he set sail from Ephesus. 22 When he landed at Caesarea,(AK) he went up to Jerusalem and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch.(AL)
23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia(AM) and Phrygia,(AN) strengthening all the disciples.(AO)
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos,(AP) a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus.(AQ) He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor[a](AR) and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.(AS) 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila(AT) heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
27 When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia,(AU) the brothers and sisters(AV) encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. 28 For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures(AW) that Jesus was the Messiah.(AX)

King James Version
18 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
