Apostelgeschichte 18
Luther Bibel 1545
18 Darnach schied Paulus von Athen und kam gen Korinth
2 und fand einen Juden mit Namen Aquila, von Geburt aus Pontus, welcher war neulich aus Italien gekommen samt seinem Weibe Priscilla (darum daß der Kaiser Klaudius geboten hatte allen Juden, zu weichen aus Rom).
3 Zu denen ging er ein; und dieweil er gleiches Handwerks war, blieb er bei ihnen und arbeitete. (Sie waren aber des Handwerks Teppichmacher).
4 Und er lehrte in der Schule an allen Sabbaten und beredete beide, Juden und Griechen.
5 Da aber Silas und Timotheus aus Mazedonien kamen, drang Paulus der Geist, zu bezeugen den Juden Jesum, daß er der Christus sei.
6 Da sie aber widerstrebten und lästerten, schüttelte er die Kleider aus und sprach: Euer Blut sei über euer Haupt! Rein gehe ich von nun an zu den Heiden.
7 Und machte sich von dannen und kam in ein Haus eines mit Namen Just, der gottesfürchtig war; dessen Haus war zunächst an der Schule.
8 Krispus aber, der Oberste der Schule, glaubte an den HERRN mit seinem ganzen Hause; und viele Korinther, die zuhörten, wurden gläubig und ließen sich taufen.
9 Es sprach aber der HERR durch ein Gesicht in der Nacht zu Paulus: Fürchte dich nicht, sondern rede, und schweige nicht!
10 denn ich bin mit dir, und niemand soll sich unterstehen, dir zu schaden; denn ich habe ein großes Volk in dieser Stadt.
11 Er saß aber daselbst ein Jahr und sechs Monate und lehrte das Wort Gottes.
12 Da aber Gallion Landvogt war in Achaja, empörten sich die Juden einmütig wider Paulus und führten ihn vor den Richtstuhl
13 und sprachen: Dieser überredet die Leute, Gott zu dienen dem Gesetz zuwider.
14 Da aber Paulus wollte den Mund auftun, sprach Gallion zu den Juden: Wenn es ein Frevel oder eine Schalkheit wäre, liebe Juden, so höre ich euch billig;
15 weil es aber eine Frage ist von der Lehre und von den Worten und von dem Gesetz unter euch, so seht ihr selber zu; ich denke darüber nicht Richter zu sein.
16 Und trieb sie von dem Richtstuhl.
17 Da ergriffen alle Griechen Sosthenes, den Obersten der Schule, und schlugen ihn vor dem Richtstuhl; und Gallion nahm sich's nicht an.
18 Paulus aber blieb noch lange daselbst; darnach machte er einen Abschied mit den Brüdern und wollte nach Syrien schiffen und mit ihm Priscilla und Aquila. Und er schor sein Haupt zu Kenchreä, denn er hatte ein Gelübde.
19 Und er kam gen Ephesus und ließ sie daselbst; er aber ging in die Schule und redete mit den Juden.
20 Sie baten ihn aber, daß er längere Zeit bei ihnen bliebe. Und er willigte nicht ein,
21 sondern machte seinen Abschied mit ihnen und sprach: Ich muß allerdinge das künftige Fest in Jerusalem halten; will's Gott, so will ich wieder zu euch kommen. Und fuhr weg von Ephesus
22 und kam gen Cäsarea und ging hinauf (nach Jerusalem) und grüßte die Gemeinde und zog hinab gen Antiochien.
23 Und verzog etliche Zeit und reiste weiter und durchwandelte nacheinander das galatische Land und Phrygien und stärkte alle Jünger.
24 Es kam aber gen Ephesus ein Jude mit namen Apollos, von Geburt aus Alexandrien, ein beredter Mann und mächtig in der Schrift.
25 Dieser war unterwiesen im Weg des HERRN und redete mit brünstigem Geist und lehrte mit Fleiß von dem HERRN, wußte aber allein von der Taufe des Johannes.
26 Dieser fing an, frei zu predigen in der Schule. Da ihn aber Aquila und Priscilla hörten, nahmen sie ihn zu sich und legten ihm den Weg Gottes noch fleißiger aus.
27 Da er aber wollte nach Achaja reisen, schrieben die Brüder und vermahnten die Jünger, daß sie ihn aufnähmen. Und als er dahingekommen war, half er denen, die gläubig waren geworden durch die Gnade.
28 Denn er überwand die Juden beständig und erwies öffentlich durch die Schrift, daß Jesus Christus sei.

In Corinth
18 After this, Paul left Athens(A) and went to Corinth.(B) 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla,(C) because Claudius(D) had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.(E) 4 Every Sabbath(F) he reasoned in the synagogue,(G) trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
5 When Silas(H) and Timothy(I) came from Macedonia,(J) Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.(K) 6 But when they opposed Paul and became abusive,(L) he shook out his clothes in protest(M) and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads!(N) I am innocent of it.(O) From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(P)
7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.(Q) 8 Crispus,(R) the synagogue leader,(S) and his entire household(T) believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:(U) “Do not be afraid;(V) keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you,(W) and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.(X)
12 While Gallio was proconsul(Y) of Achaia,(Z) the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment. 13 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. 15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law(AA)—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.” 16 So he drove them off. 17 Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes(AB) the synagogue leader(AC) and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.
Priscilla, Aquila and Apollos
18 Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters(AD) and sailed for Syria,(AE) accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.(AF) Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae(AG) because of a vow he had taken.(AH) 19 They arrived at Ephesus,(AI) where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to spend more time with them, he declined. 21 But as he left, he promised, “I will come back if it is God’s will.”(AJ) Then he set sail from Ephesus. 22 When he landed at Caesarea,(AK) he went up to Jerusalem and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch.(AL)
23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia(AM) and Phrygia,(AN) strengthening all the disciples.(AO)
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos,(AP) a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus.(AQ) He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor[a](AR) and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.(AS) 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila(AT) heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
27 When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia,(AU) the brothers and sisters(AV) encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. 28 For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures(AW) that Jesus was the Messiah.(AX)

18 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2 And 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.
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6 And 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.
7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8 And 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.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 And 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:
15 But 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.
16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
17 Then 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.
18 And 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.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
21 But 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.
22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 And 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.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This 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.
26 And 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.
27 And 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:
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

Ministering at Corinth
18 After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew named (A)Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them. 3 So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them (B)and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers. 4 (C)And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
5 (D)When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was (E)compelled [a]by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. 6 But (F)when they opposed him and blasphemed, (G)he shook his garments and said to them, (H)“Your blood be upon your own heads; (I)I am clean. (J)From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named [b]Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8 (K)Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.
9 Now (L)the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; 10 (M)for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.” 11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the [c]judgment seat, 13 saying, “This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you. 15 But if it is a (N)question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such matters.” 16 And he drove them from the judgment seat. 17 Then [d]all the Greeks took (O)Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But Gallio took no notice of these things.
Paul Returns to Antioch
18 So Paul still remained [e]a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. (P)He had his hair cut off at (Q)Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow. 19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, 21 but took leave of them, saying, (R)“I[f] must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, (S)God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus.
22 And when he had landed at (T)Caesarea, and [g]gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch. 23 After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of (U)Galatia and Phrygia [h]in order, (V)strengthening all the disciples.
Ministry of Apollos
24 (W)Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being (X)fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, (Y)though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, (Z)he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; 28 for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, (AA)showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
