A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

One night while Paul was incurred, the Lord said to him in a vision,

Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you. No one will attack and harm you,

for I have many people in this city. He settled there for a year and a half and taught the word of God among them.

But when Gallio was pro-counsel of Achaia, the Jews rose up together

against Paul and brought him to the tribunal saying, this man is inducing people to worship God,

contrary to the law. When Paul was about to reply, Gallio spoke to the Jews.

If it were a matter of some crime or malicious fraud, I should with reason hear the complaint of you

Jews. But since it is a question of arguments over doctrine and titles and your own law, see to it yourselves.

I do not wish to be a judge of such matters. And he drove them away from the tribunal.

They all see Sastonese, the synagogue official, and beat him in full view of the tribunal.

But none of this was of concern to Gallio.

Paul remained for quite some time, and after saying farewell to the brothers, he sailed for Syria,

together with Priscilla and Aquila. At Sincreya, he shaved his head

because he had taken a vow. The word of the Lord. The response orio Psalm. The response is,

God is king of all the earth.

All you peoples clap your hands.

Shout to God with Christ of gladness.

For the Lord the Most High, the awesome,

is the great king over all the earth.

God is king of all the earth.
