12But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the tribunal,

13saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.”

14But as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were some wrongdoing or a serious crime, O Jews, I would reasonably put up with you.

15But if these are questions about a word and names and your own law, you yourselves will see to it; I do not want to be a judge of these things.

16And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
