Acts 18:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 18:4

2 And he found a certain Jew named ^aAquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them.

3 So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them ^aand worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.

4 ^aAnd he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

5 ^aWhen Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was ^bcompelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

6 But ^awhen they opposed him and blasphemed, ^bhe shook his garments and said to them, ^c“Your blood be upon your own heads; ^dI am clean. ^eFrom now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7 And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named¹ Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

8 ^aThen Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

9 Now ^athe Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

10 ^afor 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.

12 When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the¹ judgment seat,

13 saying, “This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
