Paul spent eighteen months in Corinth, a notoriously wealthy and wicked port city. He lived with Aquila and Priscilla who had been expelled from Rome along with all of the other Jews because of their quarrels over Christ. He supported himself by making tents with them. At first he preached in the synagogue, but when the majority would not listen to him, he moved next door. The church grew rapidly; even the ruler of the synagogue Crispus. When a new proconsul named Gallio arrived, the Jews tried to get him to punish Paul. But he refused to get involved with a Jewish quarrel over their religion, a precedent showing that Christianity at its beginning was not viewed by Roman officials as illegal. What was the reason for Paul's success in Corinth? Jesus had many people in that city, as he said to Paul in a vision.
