1 # <1161> After <3326> these things <5023> Paul <3972> departed <5563> (5685) from <1537> Athens <116>, and came <2064> (5627) to <1519> Corinth <2882>;
2 And <2532> found <2147> (5631) a certain <5100> Jew <2453> named <3686> Aquila <207>, born <1085> in Pontus <4193>, lately <4373> come <2064> (5756) from <575> Italy <2482>, with <2532> his <846> wife <1135> Priscilla <4252>; (because that <1223> Claudius <2804> had commanded <1299> (5760) all <3956> Jews <2453> to depart <5563> (5745) from <1537> Rome <4516>:) and came <4334> (5627) unto them <846>.
3 And <2532> because <1223> he was <1511> (5750) of the same craft <3673>, he abode <3306> (5707) with <3844> them <846>, and <2532> wrought <2038> (5711): for <1063> by their occupation <5078> they were <2258> (5713) tentmakers <4635>.
4 And <1161> he reasoned <1256> (5711) in <1722> the synagogue <4864> <2596> every <3956> sabbath <4521>, and <5037> persuaded <3982> (5707) the Jews <2453> and <2532> the Greeks <1672>.
5 And <1161> when <5613> <5037> Silas <4609> and <2532> Timotheus <5095> were come <2718> (5627) from <575> Macedonia <3109>, Paul <3972> was pressed <4912> (5712) in the spirit <4151>, and testified <1263> (5740) to the Jews <2453> that Jesus <2424> was Christ <5547>.
Paul felt a compulsion - not a leading but something much stronger

6 And <1161> when they opposed <498> (5734) themselves <846>, and <2532> blasphemed <987> (5723) , he shook <1621> (5671) his raiment <2440>, and said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Your <5216> blood <129> be upon <1909> your <5216> own heads <2776>; I <1473> am clean <2513>: from <575> henceforth <3568> I will go <4198> (5695) unto <1519> the Gentiles <1484>.
7 # And <2532> he departed <3327> (5631) thence <1564>, and entered <2064> (5627) into <1519> a certain <5100> man's house <3614>, named <3686> Justus <2459>, one that worshipped <4576> (5740) God <2316>, whose <3739> house <3614> joined hard <4927> (5723) <2258> (5713) to the synagogue <4864>.
8 And <1161> Crispus <2921>, the chief ruler of the synagogue <752>, believed <4100> (5656) on the Lord <2962> with <4862> all <3650> his <846> house <3624>; and <2532> many <4183> of the Corinthians <2881> hearing <191> (5723) believed <4100> (5707), and <2532> were baptized <907> (5712).
9 Then <1161> spake <2036> (5627) the Lord <2962> to Paul <3972> in <1223> the night <3571> by <1722> a vision <3705>, Be <5399> <0> not <3361> afraid <5399> (5737), but <235> speak <2980> (5720), and <2532> hold <4623> <0> not <3361> thy peace <4623> (5661):
10 For <1360> I <1473> am <1510> (5748) with <3326> thee <4675>, and <2532> no man <3762> shall set on <2007> (5698) thee <4671> to hurt <2559> (5658) thee <4571>: for <1360> I <3427> have <2076> (5748) much <4183> people <2992> in <1722> this <5026> city <4172>.
11 And <5037> he continued <2523> (5656) there a year <1763> and <2532> six <1803> months <3376>, teaching <1321> (5723) the word <3056> of God <2316> among <1722> them <846>.
12 # And <1161> when Gallio <1058> was the deputy <445> (5723) of Achaia <882>, the Jews <2453> made insurrection <2721> (5627) with one accord against <3661> Paul <3972>, and <2532> brought <71> (5627) him <846> to <1909> the judgment seat <968>,
13 Saying <3004> (5723), <3754> This <3778> fellow persuadeth <374> (5719) men <444> to worship <4576> (5738) God <2316> contrary <3844> to the law <3551>.
14 And <1161> when Paul <3972> was now about <3195> (5723) to open <455> (5721) his mouth <4750>, Gallio <1058> said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> the Jews <2453>, If <1487> <3303> <3767> it were <2258> (5713) a <5100> matter of wrong <92> or <2228> wicked <4190> lewdness <4467>, O <5599> ye Jews <2453>, reason <2596> <3056> would <302> that I should bear <430> (5633) with you <5216>:
15 But <1161> if <1487> it be <2076> (5748) a question <2213> of <4012> words <3056> and <2532> names <3686>, and <2532> of <2596> your <5209> law <3551>, look ye <3700> (5695) <846> to it; for <1063> I <1473> will be <1014> (5736) <1511> (5750) no <3756> judge <2923> of such <5130> matters.
16 And <2532> he drave <556> (5656) them <846> from <575> the judgment seat <968>.
17 Then <1161> all <3956> the Greeks <1672> took <1949> (5637) Sosthenes <4988>, the chief ruler of the synagogue <752>, and beat <5180> (5707) him before <1715> the judgment seat <968>. And <2532> Gallio <1058> cared <3199> (5707) for none <3762> of those things <5130>.
18 # And <1161> Paul <3972> after this tarried <4357> (5660) there yet <2089> a good <2425> while <2250>, and then took his leave <657> (5671) of the brethren <80>, and sailed thence <1602> (5707) into <1519> Syria <4947>, and <2532> with <4862> him <846> Priscilla <4252> and <2532> Aquila <207>; having shorn <2751> (5671) his head <2776> in <1722> Cenchrea <2747>: for <1063> he had <2192> (5707) a vow <2171>.
19 And <1161> he came <2658> (5656) to <1519> Ephesus <2181>, and <2548> left <2641> (5627) them there <847>: but <1161> he himself <846> entered <1525> (5631) into <1519> the synagogue <4864> , and reasoned with <1256> (5675) the Jews <2453>.
20 When <1161> they <846> desired <2065> (5723) him to tarry <3306> (5658) longer <1909> <4119> time <5550> with <3844> them <846>, he consented <1962> (5656) not <3756>;
 - CHRONOS - TIME
21 But <235> bade <657> <0> them <846> farewell <657> (5662), saying <2036> (5631) , I <3165> must <1163> (5748) by all means <3843> keep <4160> (5658) this feast <1859> that cometh <2064> (5740) in <1519> Jerusalem <2414>: but <1161> I will return <344> (5692) again <3825> unto <4314> you <5209>, if God <2316> will <2309> (5723). And <2532> he sailed <321> (5681) from <575> Ephesus <2181>.
22 And <2532> when he had landed <2718> (5631) at <1519> Caesarea <2542>, and gone up <305> (5631) , and <2532> saluted <782> (5666) the church <1577>, he went down <2597> (5627) to <1519> Antioch <490>.
23 And <2532> after he had spent <4160> (5660) some <5100> time <5550> there, he departed <1831> (5627), and went over <1330> (5740) all the country <5561> of Galatia <1054> and <2532> Phrygia <5435> in order <2517>, strengthening <1991> (5723) all <3956> the disciples <3101>.
 - CHRONOS - TIME
24 # And <1161> a certain <5100> Jew <2453> named <3686> Apollos <625>, born <1085> at Alexandria <221>, an eloquent <3052> man <435>, and mighty <5607> (5752) <1415> in <1722> the scriptures <1124> , came <2658> (5656) to <1519> Ephesus <2181>.
25 This man <3778> was <2258> (5713) instructed in <2727> (5772) the way <3598> of the Lord <2962> ; and <2532> being fervent <2204> (5723) in the spirit <4151>, he spake <2980> (5707) and <2532> taught <1321> (5707) diligently <199> the things of <4012> the Lord <2962>, knowing <1987> (5740) only <3440> the baptism <908> of John <2491>.
 - TEACHING OFFICE
26 And <5037> he <3778> began <756> (5662) to speak boldly <3955> (5738) in <1722> the synagogue <4864>: whom <846> when <1161> Aquila <207> and <2532> Priscilla <4252> had heard <191> (5660) , they took <4355> (5639) him <846> unto them, and <2532> expounded <1620> (5639) unto him <846> the way <3598> of God <2316> more perfectly <197>.
27 And <1161> when he <846> was disposed <1014> (5740) to pass <1330> (5629) into <1519> Achaia <882>, the brethren <80> wrote <1125> (5656), exhorting <4389> (5671) the disciples <3101> to receive <588> (5664) him <846>: who <3739>, when he was come <3854> (5637), helped them <4820> (5639) much <4183> which had believed <4100> (5761) through <1223> grace <5485>:
28 For <1063> he mightily <2159> convinced <1246> (5711) the Jews <2453>, and that publickly <1219> , shewing <1925> (5723) by <1223> the scriptures <1124> that Jesus <2424> was <1511> (5750) Christ <5547> .
