Atos dos Apóstolos 18

SAGRADA BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Depois disso, saindo de Atenas, Paulo dirigiu-se a Corinto.	1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2 Encontrou ali um judeu chamado Áquila, natural do Ponto, e sua mulher Priscila. Eles pouco antes haviam chegado da Itália, por Cláudio ter decretado que todos os judeus saíssem de Roma. Paulo uniu-se a eles.	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 Como exercessem o mesmo ofício, morava e trabalhava com eles. {Eram fabricantes de tendas.}	3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4 Todos os sábados ele falava na sinagoga e procurava convencer os judeus e os gregos.	4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5 Quando Silas e Timóteo chegaram da Macedônia, Paulo dedicou-se inteiramente à pregação da palavra, dando aos judeus testemunho de que Jesus era o Messias.	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 Mas como esses contradissessem e o injuriassem, ele, sacudindo as vestes, disse-lhes: O vosso sangue caia sobre a vossa cabeça! Tenho as mãos inocentes. Desde agora vou para o meio dos gentios.	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 Saindo dali, entrou em casa de um prosélito, chamado Tício Justo, cuja casa era contígua à sinagoga.	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 Entretanto Crispo, o chefe da sinagoga, acreditou no Senhor com todos os da sua casa. Sabendo disso, muitos dos coríntios, ouvintes de Paulo, acreditaram e foram batizados.	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 Numa noite, o Senhor disse a Paulo em visão: Não temas! Fala e não te cales.	9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 Porque eu estou contigo. Ninguém se aproximará de ti para te fazer mal, pois tenho um numeroso povo nesta cidade.	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 Paulo deteve-se ali um ano e seis meses, ensinando a eles a palavra de Deus.	11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Sendo Galião procônsul da Acaia, levantaram-se os judeus de comum acordo contra Paulo e levaram-no ao tribunal e disseram:	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 Este homem persuade os ouvintes a {adotar} um culto contrário à lei.	13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 Paulo ia falar, mas Galião disse aos judeus: Se fosse, na realidade, uma injustiça ou verdadeiro crime, seria razoável que vos atendesse.	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 Mas se são questões de doutrina, de nomes e da vossa lei, isso é lá convosco. Não quero ser juiz dessas coisas.	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 E mandou-o sair do tribunal.	16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
17 Então todos pegaram em Sóstenes, chefe da sinagoga, e o espancaram diante do tribunal, sem que Galião fizesse caso algum disso.	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 Paulo permaneceu ali {em Corinto} ainda algum tempo. Depois se despediu dos irmãos e navegou para a Síria e com ele Priscila e Áquila. Antes, porém, cortara o cabelo em Cêncris, porque terminara um voto.	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 Chegaram a Éfeso, onde os deixou. Ele entrou na sinagoga e entretinha-se com os judeus.	19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Pediram-lhe estes que ficasse com eles ali por mais tempo, mas ele não quis.	20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
21 Ao despedir-se, disse: Voltarei a vós, se Deus quiser. E partiu de Éfeso.	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 Viajou até Cesaréia, subiu {a Jerusalém} e saudou a comunidade e logo em seguida desceu a Antioquia.	22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 Aí se demorou apenas por algum tempo, partiu de novo e atravessou sucessivamente as regiões da Galácia e da Frígia, fortalecendo todos os discípulos.	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 Entrementes, um judeu chamado Apolo, natural de Alexandria, homem eloqüente e muito versado nas Escrituras, chegou a Éfeso.	24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 Era instruído no caminho do Senhor, falava com fervor de espírito e ensinava com precisão a respeito de Jesus, embora conhecesse somente o batismo de João.	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 Começou, pois, a falar na sinagoga com desassombro. Como Priscila e Áquila o ouvissem, levaram-no consigo, e expuseram-lhe mais profundamente o caminho do Senhor.	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 Como ele quisesse ir à Acaia, os irmãos animaram-no e escreveram aos discípulos que o recebessem bem. A sua presença {em Corinto} foi, pela graça de Deus, de muito proveito para os que haviam crido,	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 pois com grande veemência refutava publicamente os judeus, provando, pelas Escrituras, que Jesus era o Messias.	28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
