Acts 18:12-16 Paul's Ministry in Ephesus

12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him into court.

13 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”

14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you.

15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.”

16 So he had them ejected from the court.
