Act 18:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6 : Most of the Jews in Corinth rejected Paul’s message. They argued against him and even spoke badly about Jesus. Paul responded by shaking out his clothes as a sign that he was finished with them and said, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles (Acts 18:6 ). Paul had done his duty by warning them, so he was not responsible for their unbelief. This act was similar to shaking the dust off his feet as a testimony against those who refused the gospel (Acts 13:51 ). Paul’s decision to turn to the Gentiles was also meant to make the Jews jealous and hopefully lead some of them to faith (Romans 11:14 ).

v. 6: Most of the Jews in Corinth rejected Paul’s message. They argued against him and even spoke badly about Jesus. Paul responded by shaking out his clothes as a sign that he was finished with them and said, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles (Acts 18:6 ^a). Paul had done his duty by warning them, so he was not responsible for their unbelief. This act was similar to shaking the dust off his feet as a testimony against those who refused the gospel (Acts 13:51 ^b). Paul’s decision to turn to the Gentiles was also meant to make the Jews jealous and hopefully lead some of them to faith (Romans 11:14 ^c).
