Things seemed to be going well with Paul and his preaching. But, just as YOU figured, my "walking with Jesus" friend, trouble was brewing. Now Corinth was a city in the region known as Achaia. "And when Gallio was deputy of Achaia, certain Jews rose up against Paul and brought him to the court, saying, "This fellow goes about persuading men to worship God in ways that are contrary to our laws." Well, just as Paul was about to speak, [can YOU guess what happened?] Yes, Gallio took hold and told the Jews: "Listen here, IF this were a complaint about some wrong doing or some wickedness, it stands to reason that I would make a ruling in the matter. BUT, since it is simply a complaint that he THINKS and TEACHES something different that you do, I consider it something to be settled between yourselves. It's not a matter for this court. Case dismissed. The Greeks were upset that the Jews had
tried to involve the court, so they dragged out Sosthenes, the leader of the Synagogue and, although they beat him right in front of the Judge, Gallio ignored them."(Acts 18:12-17) What do you think about THAT?
