Then Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had left Italy when Claudius Caesar deported all Jews from Rome. Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tent-makers, just as he was.
Each Sabbath found Paul at the synagogue, trying to convince the Jews and Greeks alike. And after Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul spent all of his time preaching the word. He testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. But when they opposed and insulted him, Paul shook the dust for his clothes and said, “You blood is upon your own heads – I am innocent. From now own I will preach to the Gentiles.
Then he left an went to the home of Titius Justus, a Gentile who worshiped God and lived next door to the synagogue, and everyone in his household believed in the Lord. many others believed in Corinth also heard Paul, became believers, and were baptized. (vv. 1-8, NLT)
