Acts 18:4-11
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with preaching the message(a) and solemnly testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah.(B)
6 But when they resisted and blasphemed,(C) he shook his robe(b)(D) and told them, “Your blood is on your own heads!(E) I am innocent.(c) From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(F)
7 So he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed the Lord, along with his whole household.(G) Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9 Then the Lord said to Paul in a night vision, “Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent.
10 For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to hurt you, because I have many people in this city.”(H)
11 And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
