Acts of Emissaries of Yeshua (Act) 18:1-10

Acts of Emissaries of Yeshua (Act) 18:1-10 CJB

After this, Sha’ul left Athens and went to Corinth, where he met a Jewish man named Aquila, originally from Pontus but having recently come with his wife Priscilla from Italy, because Claudius had issued a decree expelling all the Jews from Rome. Sha’ul went to see them; and because he had the same trade as they, making tents, he stayed on with them; and they worked together. Sha’ul also began carrying on discussions every Shabbat in the synagogue, where he tried to convince both Jews and Greeks. But after Sila and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Sha’ul felt pressed by the urgency of the message and testified in depth to the Jews that Yeshua is the Messiah. However when they set themselves against him and began hurling insults, he shook out his clothes and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! For my part, I am clean; from now on, I will go to the Goyim!” So he left them and went into the home of a “God-fearer” named Titius Justus, whose house was right next door to the synagogue. Crispus, the president of the synagogue, came to trust in the Lord, along with his whole household; also many of the Corinthians who heard trusted and were immersed. One night, in a vision, the Lord said to Sha’ul, “Don’t be afraid, but speak right up, and don’t stop, because I am with you. No one will succeed in harming you, for I have many people in this city.”
