18:12 Now while Gallio ³  was proconsul ⁴  of Achaia, ⁵  the Jews attacked Paul together ⁶  and brought him before the judgment seat, ⁷  18:13 saying, “This man is persuading ⁸  people to worship God in a way contrary to ⁹  the law!” 18:14 But just as Paul was about to speak, ¹⁰  Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or serious piece of villainy, ¹¹  I would have been justified in accepting the complaint ¹²  of you Jews, ¹³  18:15 but since it concerns points of disagreement ¹⁴  about words and names and your own law, settle ¹⁵  it yourselves. I will not be ¹⁶  a judge of these things!” 18:16 Then he had them forced away ¹⁷  from the judgment seat. ¹⁸  18:17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue, ¹⁹  and began to beat ²⁰  him in front of the judgment seat. ²¹  Yet none of these things were of any concern ²²  to Gallio.
