Acts 18:12-17

New American Standard Bible

¹² But while Gallio was ^(A)proconsul of ^(B)Achaia, ^(C)the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before ^(D)the ^[a]judgment seat, ¹³ saying, “This man is inciting the people to worship God contrary to ^(E)the ^[b]law.” ¹⁴ But when Paul was about to ^(F)open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or vicious, unscrupulous act, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you; ¹⁵ but if there are ^[c](G)questions about ^[d]teaching and ^[e]persons and your own law, see to it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters.” ¹⁶ And he drove them away from ^(H)the ^[f]judgment seat. ¹⁷ But they all took hold of ^(I)Sosthenes, ^(J)the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of ^(K)the judgment seat. And yet Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.
