---

← Acts 18:2	Acts 18:3 (KJV)	Acts 18:4 →
And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.	And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.	And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
