Acts 18:7
Compare all
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.”

Acts 18:7-8

he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus—not changing his lodging, as if Aquila and Priscilla up to this time were with the opponents of the apostle [ALFORD], but merely ceasing any more to testify in the synagogue, and henceforth carrying on his labors in this house of Justus, which "joining hard to the synagogue," would be easily accessible to such of its worshippers as were still open to light. Justus, too, being probably a proselyte, would more easily draw a mixed audience than the synagogue. From this time forth conversions rapidly increased.
