No one will attack and harm you, for I have many people in this city.” He settled there for a year and a half and taught the word of God among them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL7A7k3y12o Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW3UTNZjNVU We set sail from Troas, making a straight run for Samothrace, and on the next day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, a leading city in that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We spent some time in that city. On the sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river where we thought there would be a place of prayer.
