|
|
6. When they opposed him and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your heads! I am clear of responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
|
6. And G1161 when they G846 opposed themselves G498 , and G2532 blasphemed G987 , he shook G1621 his raiment G2440 , and said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , Your G5216 blood G129 be upon G1909 your own G5216 heads G2776 ; I G1473 am clean G2513 : from G575 henceforth G3568 I will go G4198 unto G1519 the G3588 Gentiles G1484 .

|
|
13. saying, "This man is inducing people to worship God contrary to the law."
|

|
|
14. When Paul was about to reply, Gallio spoke to the Jews, "If it were a matter of some crime or malicious fraud, I should with reason hear the complaint of you Jews;
|
14. And G1161 when Paul G3972 was now about G3195 to open G455 his mouth G4750 , Gallio G1058 said G2036 unto G4314 the G3588 Jews G2453 , If G1487 it G3303 G3767 were G2258 a G5100 matter of wrong G92 or G2228 wicked G4190 lewdness G4467 , O G5599 ye Jews G2453 , reason G3056 would that I should bear with G430 G302 you G5216 :
|
|
15. but since it is a question of arguments over doctrine and titles and your own law, see to it yourselves. I do not wish to be a judge of such matters."
|
15. But G1161 if G1487 it be G2076 a question G2213 of G4012 words G3056 and G2532 names G3686 , and G2532 of G2596 your G5209 law G3551 , look G3700 ye G846 to it ; for G1063 I G1473 will G1014 be G1511 no G3756 judge G2923 of such G5130 matters.
|
|
16. And he drove them away from the tribunal.

|
|
17. They all seized Sosthenes, the synagogue official, and beat him in full view of the tribunal. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.

|
|
21. but as he said farewell he promised, "I shall come back to you again, God willing." Then he set sail from Ephesus.
|
21.

And G2532 he sailed G321 from G575 Ephesus G2181 .

|
|
23. After staying there some time, he left and traveled in orderly sequence through the Galatian country and Phrygia, bringing strength to all the disciples.
|

|
25. This man G3778 was G2258 instructed G2727 in the G3588 way G3598 of the G3588 Lord G2962 ; and G2532 being fervent G2204 in the G3588 spirit G4151 , he spake G2980 and G2532 taught G1321 diligently G199 the things G3588 of G4012 the G3588 Lord G2962 , knowing G1987 only G3440 the G3588 baptism G908 of John G2491 .
|
|
26. He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the Way (of God) more accurately.
|
26. And G5037 he G3778 began G756 to speak boldly G3955 in G1722 the G3588 synagogue G4864 G1161 : whom G846 when Aquila G207 and G2532 Priscilla G4252 had heard G191 , they took him unto G4355 G846 them, and G2532 expounded G1620 unto him G846 the G3588 way G3598 of God G2316 more perfectly G197 .
|
|
27. And when he wanted to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. After his arrival he gave great assistance to those who had come to believe through grace.
