Pentax S50

"After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, following a decree of the Emperor Claudius which ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them and then stayed and worked with them because they shared the same trade of tentmaking. Every sabbath he held discussions in the synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks.

"When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was able to give himself wholly to preaching and proving to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. One day when they opposed him and insulted him, he shook the dust from his clothes in protest, saying, 'You yourselves will account for your deeds! I am not to blame if from now on I go to the non-Jews.'

"So Paul left there and went to the house of a God-fearing man named Titus Justus who lived next door to the synagogue. A leading man of the synagogue, Crispus, along with his hole househodl, believed in the Lord. On hearing Paul, many more Corinthians believed and were baptized."

ACTS 18:1-8

"Lord, guide me; don't let me go astray on my way to You."
