1 А потом се одлучи Павле од Атине и дође у Коринт, 2 и нађе једног Јеврејина, по имену Акилу, родом из Понта, који беше скоро дошао из Талијанске са женом својом Прискилом (јер беше заповедио Клаудије да сви Јевреји иду из Рима), и дође к њима. 3 И будући да беше оног истог заната, оста код њих и рађаше, јер беху ћилимарског заната. 4 А препираше се у зборницама сваке суботе, и надговараше Јевреје и Грке. 5 И кад сиђоше из Македоније Сила и Тимотије, навали Дух Свети на Павла да сведочи Јеврејима да је Исус Христос. 6 А кад се они противљаху и хуљаху, отресе хаљине своје и рече им: Крв ваша на ваше главе; ја сам чист, од сад идем у незнабошце. 7 И отишавши оданде дође у кућу некога по имену Јуста, који поштоваше Бога, и ког кућа беше крај зборнице. 8 А Крисп, старешина зборнички, верова Господа са свим домом својим; и од Коринћана многи који слушаху вероваше и крстише се. 9 А Господ рече Павлу ноћу у утвари: Не бој се, него говори, и да не ућутиш; 10 јер сам ја с тобом, и нико се неће усудити да ти шта учини; јер ја имам велики народ у овом граду. 11 И он седи онде годину и шест месеци учећи их речи Божјој 12 А кад беше Галион намесник у Ахаји, нападоше Јевреји једнодушно на Павла и доведоше га на суд 13 говорећи: Овај наговара људе да поштују Бога против закона. 14 А кад Павле хтеде да отвори уста, рече Галион Јеврејима: Да је каква неправда била или зло дело, по дужности послушао бих вас, о Јевреји! 15 Али кад су препирања за речи и за имена и за закон ваш, гледајте сами; јер ја судија томе нећу да будем. 16 И изагна их из суднице. 17 Онда сви Грци ухватише Состена, старешину зборничког, и бише га пред судницом; и Галион није ништа за то марио. 18 А Павле оста још позадуго, и опростивши се с браћом отплови у Сирију и с њиме Прискила и Акила, и остриже главу у Кенхреји, јер се беше заветовао. 19 И дође у Ефес; и њих остави онде, а он уђе у зборницу, и препираше се с Јеврејима. 20 А кад га они молише да остане код њих више времена, не хтеде, 21 него се опрости с њима говорећи: Ваља ми, макар како било, овај празник што иде провести у Јерусалиму; него, ако Бог хтедбуде, вратићу се опет к вама. И одвезе се из Ефеса; а Акила и Прискила осташе у Ефесу. 22 И дошавши у Ћесарију, изиђе и поздрави се с црквом, и сиђе у Антиохију. 23 И проведавши неколико времена изиђе и прође редом галатијску земљу и Фригију утврђујући све ученике. 24 А дође у Ефес један Јеврејин, по имену Аполос, родом из Александрије, човек речит и силан у књигама. 25 Овај беше упућен на пут Господњи, и горећи духом, говораше и учаше право о Господу, а знаше само крштење Јованово. 26 И овај поче слободно проповедати по зборницама. А кад га чуше Акила и Прискила, примише га и још му боље показаше пут Господњи. 27 А кад он хтеде да пређе у Ахају, послаше браћа унапред и писаше ученицима да га приме. И он дошавши онамо поможе много онима који вероваху благодаћу; 28 јер здраво надвлађиваше Јевреје једнако пред народом доказујући из писма да је Исус Христос.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
See how the Law was breaking up; see how they were bound by conscience. This, namely, was a Jewish custom, to shear their heads agreeably with a vow. But then there ought to be also a sacrifice (ch. xxi. 26), which was not the case here. --"Having yet tarried:" after the beating of Sosthenes.
