1Danach verließ Paulus Athen und kam nach Korinth2und fand einen Juden mit Namen Aquila, aus Pontus gebürtig; der war mit seiner Frau Priszilla kürzlich aus Italien gekommen, weil Kaiser Klaudius allen Juden geboten hatte, Rom zu verlassen. Zu denen ging Paulus. (Röm 16,3; 1Kor 16,19; 2Tim 4,19)3Und weil er das gleiche Handwerk hatte, blieb er bei ihnen und arbeitete; sie waren nämlich von Beruf Zeltmacher. (Apg 20,34; 1Kor 4,12)4Und er lehrte in der Synagoge an allen Sabbaten und überzeugte Juden und Griechen.5Als aber Silas und Timotheus aus Makedonien kamen, richtete sich Paulus ganz auf die Verkündigung des Wortes und bezeugte den Juden, dass Jesus der Christus ist. (Apg 17,14; 2Kor 1,19)6Da sie aber widerstrebten und lästerten, schüttelte er die Kleider aus und sprach zu ihnen: Euer Blut komme über euer Haupt; rein bin ich und gehe von nun an zu den Heiden. (Mt 27,25; Apg 13,51; Apg 20,26)7Und er machte sich auf von dort und kam in das Haus eines Mannes mit Namen Titius Justus, eines Gottesfürchtigen; dessen Haus war neben der Synagoge.8Krispus aber, der Vorsteher der Synagoge, glaubte an den Herrn mit seinem ganzen Hause, und auch viele Korinther, die zuhörten, glaubten und ließen sich taufen. (1Kor 1,14)9Es sprach aber der Herr durch eine Erscheinung in der Nacht zu Paulus: Fürchte dich nicht, sondern rede und schweige nicht! (Jer 1,8; 1Kor 2,3)10Denn ich bin mit dir, und niemand soll sich unterstehen, dir zu schaden; denn ich habe ein großes Volk in dieser Stadt. (Joh 10,16)11Er blieb aber dort ein Jahr und sechs Monate und lehrte unter ihnen das Wort Gottes.12Als aber Gallio Statthalter in Achaia war, empörten sich die Juden einmütig gegen Paulus und führten ihn vor den Richterstuhl13und sprachen: Dieser Mensch überredet die Leute, Gott zu dienen dem Gesetz zuwider. (Apg 21,28)14Als aber Paulus den Mund auftun wollte, sprach Gallio zu den Juden: Wenn es um einen Frevel oder ein Verbrechen ginge, ihr Juden, so würde ich eure Klage anhören. (Apg 25,18)15Weil es aber Fragen sind über Lehre und Namen und das Gesetz bei euch, so seht ihr selber zu; ich gedenke, darüber nicht Richter zu sein. (Joh 18,31)16Und er trieb sie weg von dem Richterstuhl.17Da ergriffen sie alle Sosthenes, den Vorsteher der Synagoge, und schlugen ihn vor dem Richterstuhl, und Gallio kümmerte sich nicht darum.
Die Rückkehr nach Antiochia
18Paulus aber blieb noch eine Zeit lang dort. Danach nahm er Abschied von den Brüdern und Schwestern und wollte nach Syrien fahren und mit ihm Priszilla und Aquila. Zuvor ließ er sich in Kenchreä sein Haupt scheren, denn er hatte ein Gelübde getan. (Apg 21,24; Apg 21,26)19Und sie kamen nach Ephesus und er ließ die beiden dort zurück; er aber ging in die Synagoge und redete mit den Juden.20Sie baten ihn aber, dass er längere Zeit bei ihnen bleibe. Doch er willigte nicht ein,21sondern nahm Abschied von ihnen und sprach: Will’s Gott, so werde ich wieder zu euch kommen. Und er fuhr weg von Ephesus (Jak 4,15)22und kam nach Cäsarea und ging hinauf nach Jerusalem und grüßte die Gemeinde und zog hinab nach Antiochia. (Apg 21,15)
Der Beginn der dritten Missionsreise
23Und nachdem er einige Zeit geblieben war, brach er wieder auf und durchzog nacheinander das galatische Land und Phrygien und stärkte alle Jünger.
Apollos in Ephesus
24Es kam aber nach Ephesus ein Jude mit Namen Apollos, aus Alexandria gebürtig, ein beredter Mann und gelehrt in der Schrift. (1Kor 1,12; 1Kor 3,5)25Dieser war unterwiesen im Weg des Herrn und redete brennend im Geist und lehrte richtig von Jesus, wusste aber nur von der Taufe des Johannes. (Apg 19,3)26Er fing an, frei und offen zu predigen in der Synagoge. Als ihn Priszilla und Aquila hörten, nahmen sie ihn zu sich und legten ihm den Weg Gottes noch genauer aus.27Als er aber nach Achaia reisen wollte, ermunterten ihn die Brüder und schrieben den Jüngern, sie möchten ihn aufnehmen. Und als er dahin gekommen war, half er denen viel, die gläubig geworden waren, durch die Gnade.28Denn er widerlegte die Juden kräftig und erwies öffentlich durch die Schriften, dass Jesus der Christus ist. (Apg 9,22; Apg 17,3)
Apostelgeschichte 18
King James Version
1After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;2And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.3And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.5And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.6And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.7And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.8And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.9Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:10For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.11And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.12And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,13Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.14And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:15But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.16And he drave them from the judgment seat.17Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.18And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.19And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.20When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;21But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.22And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.23And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.24And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.25This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.27And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:28For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

English Standard Version
Paul in Corinth
1After this Paul[1] left Athens and went to Corinth.2And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, (Apg 11,28; Apg 18,18; Apg 18,26; Röm 16,3; 1Kor 16,19; 2Tim 4,19)3and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. (Apg 20,34; 1Kor 4,12; 1Kor 9,15; 2Kor 11,7; 2Kor 12,13; 1Thess 2,9; 2Thess 3,8)4And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks. (Apg 13,5; Apg 13,14; Apg 17,17)5When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. (Hi 32,18; Jer 6,11; Jer 20,9; Am 3,8; Apg 2,36; Apg 3,20; Apg 5,42; Apg 8,5; Apg 9,22; Apg 17,3; Apg 17,15; Apg 18,28; Apg 20,21; 2Kor 5,14; 1Thess 3,6)6And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” (2Sam 1,16; Neh 5,13; Hes 3,18; Hes 18,13; Hes 33,4; Mt 27,25; Apg 13,46; Apg 13,51; Apg 20,26)7And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. (Apg 1,23; Apg 16,14; Kol 4,11)8Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. (Apg 11,14; 1Kor 1,14)9And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, (Jos 1,5; Jer 1,8; Mt 28,20; Apg 23,11; Apg 26,16; Apg 27,23; Apg 27,24; 2Kor 12,1)10for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” (Lk 21,18; Joh 10,16; Apg 18,9; 2Thess 3,2)11And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews[2] made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal, (Apg 13,7; Apg 13,50; Apg 16,19)13saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.” (Apg 18,15)14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. (Apg 13,10)15But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” (Apg 18,13; Apg 23,29; Apg 25,19; 1Tim 6,4; 2Tim 2,14)16And he drove them from the tribunal.17And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.
Paul Returns to Antioch
18After this, Paul stayed many days longer and then took leave of the brothers[3] and set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchreae he had cut his hair, for he was under a vow. (4Mo 6,2; 4Mo 6,18; Joh 21,23; Apg 18,2; Apg 21,23; Röm 16,1)19And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. (Apg 18,4; Apg 19,1; Apg 20,16; 1Kor 15,32; 1Kor 16,8; Eph 1,1; 1Tim 1,3; 2Tim 1,18)20When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined.21But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus. (Röm 15,32; 1Kor 4,19; 1Kor 16,7; Hebr 6,3; Jak 4,15; 1Petr 3,17)22When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch. (Apg 11,2; Apg 21,15)23After spending some time there, he departed and went from one place to the next through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. (Apg 14,22; Apg 16,6)
Apollos Speaks Boldly in Ephesus
24Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. (Esr 7,6; Apg 19,1; 1Kor 1,12; 1Kor 3,5; 1Kor 4,6; 1Kor 16,12; Tit 3,13)25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit,[4] he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. (Lk 7,29; Apg 9,2; Apg 19,3; Röm 12,11)26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. (Mt 22,16; Apg 18,2; Apg 18,25)27And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, (Apg 11,21; Apg 11,23; Apg 15,11; Apg 18,18; Apg 19,1; 1Kor 3,6; 2Kor 3,1; Eph 2,8)28for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus. (Apg 18,5)
