Acts 18:14-15

Context
18:14 But just as Paul was about to speak, 1  Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or serious piece of villainy, 2  I would have been justified in accepting the complaint 3  of you Jews, 4  18:15 but since it concerns points of disagreement 5  about words and names and your own law, settle 6  it yourselves. I will not be 7  a judge of these things!”
