5 ^aWhen Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul ^bwas occupied with the word, ^ctestifying to the Jews that the Christ was ^dJesus. 6 And when they opposed and reviled him, ^ehe shook out his garments and said to them, ^f“Your blood be on your own heads! ^gI am innocent. ^hFrom now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
