New Testament

Acts 18:1-6 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. Later, Paul left Athens and went to the city of Corinth.

2. There he met a Jewish man named Aquila, who was born in the country of Pontus. But he and his wife, Priscilla, had recently moved to Corinth from Italy. They left Italy because Claudius had given an order for all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit Aquila and Priscilla.

3. They were tentmakers, the same as Paul, so he stayed with them and worked with them.

4. Every Sabbath day Paul went to the synagogue and talked with both Jews and Greeks, trying to persuade them to believe in Jesus.

5. But after Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul spent all his time telling God’s message to the Jews, trying to convince them that Jesus is the Messiah.

6. But they disagreed with what Paul was teaching and started insulting him. So Paul shook the dust from his clothes. He said to them, “If you are not saved, it will be your own fault! I have done all I can do. After this I will go only to the non-Jewish people.”
