Capitolo 18
1
Nakon toga napusti Pavao Atenu i ode u Korint.
2
Ondje nađe nekog Židova imenom Akvilu, rodom iz Ponta, koji netom bijaše došao iz Italije sa svojom ženom Priscilom jer je Klaudije naredio da svi Židovi napuste Rim. Pohodio ih je
3
i, kako bijahu istog zanimanja, ostao kod njih i radio. Po zanimanju bijahu šatorari.
4
Svake je pak subote raspravljao u sinagogi i uvjeravao Židove i Grke.
5
Kad iz Makedonije pristigoše Sila i Timotej, Pavao se potpuno posveti Riječi svjedočeći Židovima da Isus jest Krist.
6
Kako se pak oni stadoše protiviti i huliti, otrese on haljine i reče im: “Krv vaša na glave vaše! Ja sam nedužan. Od sada idem k poganima.”
7
I ode odande te prijeđe u kuću nekoga bogobojazna čovjeka, imenom Ticija Justa, čija kuća bijaše tik do sinagoge.
8
A nadstojnik sinagoge Krisp povjerova Gospodinu zajedno sa svim svojim domom. I mnogi od Korinćana koji su to slušali povjerovaše i pokrstiše se.
9
Jedne noći reče Gospodin Pavlu u viđenju: “Ne boj se, nego govori i ne daj se ušutkati!
10
Ta ja sam s tobom i nitko se neće usuditi da ti naudi. Jer mnogo je naroda mojega u ovome gradu.”
11
Tako se zadrža godinu i šest mjeseci naučavajući među njima riječ Božju.
12
Ali dok je Galion bio prokonzul Ahaje, navališe Židovi jednodušno na Pavla, dovukoše ga u sudnicu
13
i rekoše: “Ovaj potiče ljude da protiv zakona štuju Boga.”
14
Pavao samo što nije zaustio kadli Galion reče Židovima: “Da je posrijedi zločin kakav ili nedjelo opako, saslušao bih vas, Židovi, kako je pravo;
15
je li pak raspra o riječi i imenima i o nekom vašem zakonu, proviđajte sami; u tome ja ne želim biti sudac.”
16
I otpremi ih iz sudnice.
17
A oni svi pograbiše nadstojnika sinagoge Sostena i stadoše ga šibati pred sudnicom. Galion nije za to ništa mario.
18
Pavao osta još podosta vremena, a onda se oprosti s braćom pa pošto se u Kenhreji ošiša jer imaše zavjet, zaplovi prema Siriji, a s njime i Priscila i Akvila.
19
Stigoše u Efez. Tu ih ostavi, a on uđe u sinagogu i stade raspravljati sa Židovima.
20
Oni ga zamole da ostanu duže vremena, ali on ne pristade,
21
nego se oprosti: “Još ću se, reče, vratiti k vama, bude li Božja volja.” I otplovi iz Efeza.
22
Kad stiže u Cezareju, uziđe pozdraviti Crkvu pa onda siđe u Antiohiju.
23
Neko se vrijeme zadrža pa onda ode i zareda galacijskim područjem i Frigijom utvrđujući sve učenike.
24
Uto neki Židov imenom Apolon, rodom Aleksandrijac, čovjek rječit i upućen u Pisma, stiže u Efez.
25
On bijaše upućen u Put Gospodnji pa je vatrene duše govorio i naučavao pomno o Isusu, premda je znao samo za Ivanovo krštenje.
26
Poče on tako smjelo govoriti u sinagogi. Čuše ga Priscila i Akvila, uzeše ga k sebi i pomnije mu izložiše Put Božji.
27
A kad je nakanio otići u Ahaju, ohrabriše ga braća i napisaše učenicima da ga prime. Kad je stigao onamo, uvelike je koristio vjernicima po milosti
28
jer je snažno pobijao Židove javno pokazujući iz Pisama da Isus jest Krist.
Acts
Capitolo 18
1
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2
And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
3
And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5
And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7
¶ And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10
For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
11
And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12
¶ And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13
Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15
But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
16
And he drave them from the judgment seat.
17
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18
¶ And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
19
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
21
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22
And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23
And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24
¶ And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
26
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
27
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
28
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
