English onlyRead it word by word

Act 18:1Post haec ēgressus ab Athēnīs, vēnit Corinthum: et inveniēns quemdam Jūdaeum nōmine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, quī nūper vēnerat ab Ītaliā, et Priscillam uxōrem ejus (eō quod praecēpisset Claudius discēdere omnēs Jūdaeōs ā Rōmā), accessit ad eōs.After these things, going out from Athens, he came to Corinth: and finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome), he went to them. Act 18:3Et quia ejusdem erat artis, manēbat apud eōs, et operābātur.And because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them, and was working. Act 18:3(Erant autem scēnofactōriae artis.) Et disputābat in synagōgā per omne sabbatum, interpōnēns nōmen Dominī Jēsū: suādēbatque Jūdaeīs et Graecīs.(For they were of the tent-making trade.) And he was disputing in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus: and he was persuading Jews and Greeks. Act 18:5Cum vēnissent autem dē Macedoniā Silās et Timotheus, īnstābat verbō Paulus, testificāns Jūdaeīs esse Chrīstum Jēsum.And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressing on with the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

Act 18:6Contrādīcentibus autem eīs, et blasphēmantibus, excutiēns vestīmenta sua, dīxit ad eōs: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego: ex hōc ad gentēs vādam.But when they spoke against him, and blasphemed, shaking out his garments, he said to them: "Your blood be upon your head: I am clean: from now on I will go to the Gentiles." Act 18:7Et migrāns inde, intrāvit in domum cujusdam, nōmine Titī Jūstī, colentis Deum, cujus domus erat conjūncta synagōgae.And moving from there, he went into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was joined to the synagogue. Act 18:8Crispus autem archisynagōgus crēdidit Dominō cum omnī domō suā: et multī Corinthiōrum audientēs crēdēbant, et baptizābantur.And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household: and many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing, and being baptized. Act 18:9Dīxit autem Dominus nocte per vīsiōnem Paulō: Nōlī timēre, sed loquere, et nē taceās: propter quod ego sum tēcum, et nēmō appōnētur tibi ut noceat tē: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hāc cīvitāte.And the Lord said by night through a vision to Paul: "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not be silent: for I am with you, and no one will be set upon you to harm you: since there is much people for me in this city."

Act 18:11Sēdit autem ibi annum et sex mēnsēs, docēns apud eōs verbum Deī.And he settled there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God. Act 18:12Galliōne autem prōcōnsule Achāiae, īnsurrēxērunt ūnō animō Jūdaeī in Paulum, et addūxērunt eum ad tribūnal, dīcentēs: Quia contrā lēgem hic persuādet hominibus colere Deum.But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one mind against Paul, and brought him to the tribunal, saying: "This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law." Act 18:14Incipiente autem Paulō aperīre ōs, dīxit Galliō ad Jūdaeōs: Sī quidem esset inīquum aliquid aut facinus pessimum, ō virī Jūdaeī, rēctē vōs sustinērem.But when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: "If indeed it were some wrong or a very wicked crime, O men, Jews, I would rightly bear with you. Act 18:15Sī vērō quaestiōnēs sunt dē verbō, et nōminibus, et lēge vestrā, vōs ipsī vīderitis: jūdex ego hōrum nōlō esse.But if they are questions about word, and names, and your law, you yourselves see to it: a judge of these things I do not wish to be."

Act 18:16Et mināvit eōs ā tribūnālī.And he drove them from the tribunal. Act 18:17Apprehendentēs autem omnēs Sōsthenem prīncipem synagōgae, percutiēbant eum ante tribūnal: et nihil eōrum Galliōnī cūrae erat.But all of them, seizing Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, were beating him before the tribunal: and none of these things was of concern to Gallio. Act 18:18Paulus vērō cum adhūc sustinuisset diēs multōs frātribus valefaciēns, nāvigāvit in Syriam (et cum eō Priscilla et Aquila), quī sibi totonderat in Cenchrīs caput: habēbat enim vōtum.But Paul, when he had stayed on still many days, bidding farewell to the brothers, sailed into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchreae: for he had a vow. Act 18:19Dēvēnitque Ephesum, et illōs ibi relīquit.And he came down to Ephesus, and left them there. Act 18:19Ipse vērō ingressus synagōgam, disputābat cum Jūdaeīs.But he himself, having gone into the synagogue, was disputing with the Jews. Act 18:20Rogantibus autem eīs ut ampliōrī tempore manēret, nōn cōnsēnsit, sed valefaciēns, et dīcēns: Iterum revertar ad vōs, Deō volente: profectus est ab Ephesō.And when they were asking him to stay a longer time, he did not consent, but bidding farewell, and saying: "I will return to you again, God willing": he set out from Ephesus.

Act 18:22Et dēscendēns Caesarēam, ascendit, et salūtāvit ecclēsiam, et dēscendit Antiochīam.And going down to Caesarea, he went up, and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch. Act 18:23Et factō ibi aliquantō tempore profectus est, perambulāns ex ōrdine Galaticam regiōnem, et Phrygiam, cōnfirmāns omnēs discipulōs.And some time having been spent there, he set out, walking through in order the Galatian region, and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Act 18:24Jūdaeus autem quīdam, Apollō nōmine, Alexandrīnus genere, vir ēloquēns, dēvēnit Ephesum, potēns in scrīptūrīs.Now a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came down to Ephesus, mighty in the scriptures. Act 18:25Hic erat ēdoctus viam Dominī: et fervēns spīritū loquēbātur, et docēbat dīligenter ea quae sunt Jēsū, sciēns tantum baptisma Jōannis.This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit he was speaking, and teaching carefully the things which are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. Act 18:26Hic ergō coepit fīdūciāliter agere in synagōgā.This man, therefore, began to act confidently in the synagogue. Act 18:26Quem cum audīssent Priscilla et Aquila, assūmpsērunt eum, et dīligentius exposuērunt eī viam Dominī.And when Priscilla and Aquila had heard him, they took him aside, and expounded to him more carefully the way of the Lord.

Act 18:27Cum autem vellet īre Achāiam, exhortātī frātrēs, scrīpsērunt discipulīs ut susciperent eum.And when he wished to go to Achaia, the brothers, having encouraged him, wrote to the disciples that they should receive him. Act 18:27Quī cum vēnisset, contulit multum hīs quī crēdiderant.Who, when he had come, contributed much to those who had believed. Act 18:28Vehementer enim Jūdaeōs revincēbat pūblicē, ostendēns per Scrīptūrās esse Chrīstum Jēsum.For he was vehemently refuting the Jews in public, showing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
