Acts 18:16-18
16 And he drove them from the judgment seat. 17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But Gallio took no notice of these things. 18 So Paul still remained a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his hair cut off at Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow.
After the magistrate drove away a frivolous lawsuit by the Jews against Paul for preaching the gospel words of life, the others beat up the synagogue leader for stirring them up, and the law looked the other way. So Paul was able to continue safe and unhindered for a long time. Finally, he went to Syria with a godly couple in the ministry. He also had taken a vow about which we find out more a while later. Paul was faithful to minister and bring the gospel in hard times as well as good.
