for I have very many people in this city."
018:011 So Paul remained in Corinth for a year and six months,
teaching among them the Message of God.
018:012 But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord
made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.
018:013 "This man," they said, "is inducing people to offer unlawful

018:022 Landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and inquired after
the welfare of the Church, and then went down to Antioch.
018:023 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out on a tour,
