Acts 18:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.

5 And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

6 But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7 So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.

8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.
