Bible verse
And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
Acts 18:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Acts 18.
12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
13 “This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
14 But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
15 But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
17 At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
18 Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
19 When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
20 When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
