11 Then he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul. And they brought him to the tribunal,
13 saying, "He persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."
14 Then, when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: "If this were some matter of injustice, or a wicked deed, O noble Jews, I would support you, as is proper.
15 Yet if truly these are questions about a word and names and your law, you should see to it yourselves. I will not be the judge of such things."
16 And he ordered them from the tribunal.
17 But they, apprehending Sosthenes, a leader of the synagogue, beat him in front of the tribunal. And Gallio showed no concern for these things.
