Acts 18:1-22

  • Paul in Corinth
    • met Aquila and Priscilla,
      • both came from Rome, Italy
      • Aquila was a tentmaker
        • so was Paul
      • Paul stayed and work with them
        • during weekdays
        • at weekend (Sabbath) he reasoned in the synagogue
    • the Jews opposed and became abusive
    • Paul left the synagogue and went next door
      • to the house of Titius Justus
      • from then on he preached to Gentiles
    • God encouraged Paul in a vision that he had at night
      • Do not be afraid;
      • keep on speaking,
      • do not be silent.
        • For I am with you, and
        • no one is going to attack and harm you,
          • because I have many people in this city
    • Paul stayed there for 1.5 years
    • Paul was brought to the court
      • Gallio was the proconsul of Achaica
      • he would not hear the case (threw the case out)
      • so they beat Paul in front of the court
  • Paul left Corinth for Syria
    • Aquila and Priscilla went along
    • first they arrived in Ephesus
      • Paul reasoned with the Jews in the synagogue
  • Paul left Ephesus for Caesarea and Jerusalum
  • this ended Paul's second missionary trip
