In context
9One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, “Do not be afraid. Keep speaking; do not fall silent. 10For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11So he settled there for a year and six months, teaching them the word of God. 12While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose against Paul with one accord and brought him before the tribunal. 13“This man,” they said, “is persuading people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
