16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.

17 Then¹ all the Greeks took ^aSosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But Gallio took no notice of these things.

Paul Returns to Antioch

18 So Paul still remained¹ a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. ^aHe had his hair cut off at ^bCenchrea, for he had taken a vow.

Then they all took Sosthenes - The successor of Crispus, and probably Paul's chief accuser, and beat him - It seems because he had occasioned them so much trouble to no purpose, before the judgment seat - One can hardly think in the sight of Gallio, though at no great distance from him. And it seems to have had a happy effect. For Sosthenes himself was afterward a Christian, I Corinthians 1:1.
