Gen Z: Acts 18
1After all that, Paul dipped from Athens and rolled up to Corinth;
2He found this dude Aquila, a Jew from Pontus, just back from Italy with his wifey Priscilla; (Claudius was on a savage move, kicking all the Jews outta Rome) and linked up with them.
3Since they were all in the same trade, he vibed with them and worked; they were tentmakers, no cap.
4He was in the synagogue every Sabbath, spitting knowledge and convincing the Jews and Greeks.
5When Silas and Timmy pulled up from Macedonia, Paul was feeling the spirit and preached to the Jews that Jesus was the real deal, the Christ.
6When they threw shade and dissed him, he shook off his clothes and said, "Y'all do you; I'm clean. From now on, I'm rolling with the Gentiles."
7He bounced and went to this guy's crib, Justus, who was all about God, and his house was right next to the synagogue.
8Crispus, the head honcho of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with his whole fam; a bunch of Corinthians heard and got baptized, fr.
9Then the Lord hit Paul up in a night vision, saying, "Don’t be scared, just speak up, and don’t keep quiet."
10"I got your back, no one’s gonna mess with you, 'cause I have a whole squad in this city."
11He was there for a year and a half, spitting the word of God to the crew.
12When Gallio was the big boss in Achaia, the Jews came at Paul all together, bringing him to the judge's seat, no cap.
13They were like, "This dude is getting people to worship God in a way that's sus."
14Right when Paul was about to talk, Gallio said to the Jews, "If this was about some shady stuff, I’d hear you out, fr."
15"But if you're just arguing over words and laws, that's on you; I ain't judging that."
16Then he kicked them out of the judge's seat, savage move.
17All the Greeks straight up grabbed Sosthenes, the head dude of the synagogue, and beat him up right there. Gallio didn’t care, periodt.
18After that, Paul stayed for a while longer, then bounced to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, fresh haircut in Cenchrea since he had a vow.
19He rolled up to Ephesus and left them there, but he hit up the synagogue to reason with the Jews.
20When they wanted him to chill longer, he was like, "Nah, I’m good."
21He said peace out, “I gotta hit this feast in Jerusalem, but I’ll be back if God’s down.” Then he bounced from Ephesus.
22When he landed in Cesarea, he showed love to the church and then dipped to Antioch.
23After chilling there for a bit, he took off and cruised through Galatia and Phrygia, boosting the disciples.
24Then there was this Jew named Apollos, straight outta Alexandria, super eloquent and rizzed up in the scriptures, who came to Ephesus.
25This dude was schooled in the Lord’s ways; he was fired up and taught the things of God, only knowing John’s baptism though.
26He started preaching boldly in the synagogue, and when Aquila and Priscilla caught wind, they pulled him in and schooled him on God’s ways even better.
27When he was ready to roll to Achaia, the bros wrote to the disciples, hyping them up to welcome him; once he showed up, he helped a ton who believed through grace.
28He totally convinced the Jews, going hard in public, showing them in the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
