18:12 Now while Gallio ¹⁹  was proconsul ²⁰  of Achaia, ²¹  the Jews attacked Paul together ²²  and brought him before the judgment seat, ²³  18:13 saying, “This man is persuading ²⁴  people to worship God in a way contrary to ²⁵  the law!” 18:14 But just as Paul was about to speak, ²⁶  Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or serious piece of villainy, ²⁷  I would have been justified in accepting the complaint ²⁸  of you Jews, ²⁹  18:15 but since it concerns points of disagreement ³⁰  about words and names and your own law, settle ³¹  it yourselves. I will not be ³²  a judge of these things!” 18:16 Then he had them forced away ³³  from the judgment seat. ³⁴  18:17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue, ³⁵  and began to beat ³⁶  him in front of the judgment seat. ³⁷  Yet none of these things were of any concern ³⁸  to Gallio.
