Paul brought before Gallio
Paul's opponents brought him to court in Corinth. They accused him of teaching people to worship God against the law. Gallio was the Roman governor of Achaia, the area that included Corinth. His title was proconsul. He refused to judge a dispute about words, names, and Jewish law, and sent the accusers away from his judgment seat, the place where he heard court cases (Acts 18:12-17).
12While 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. 14But 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.
