Acts 18:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 18:5

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.
