Daily Bible Reading Day 196

Psalms 13-16; Acts 18.  David continues with the theme - I've cried out to you but you aren't listening and responding. Two things of note. One is Psalm 15 where David asks who can dwell in God's tent. His answer is short and to the point. There is a focus on behavior and how he treats others. Second is Psalm 16 which is quoted by Peter in his opening sermon in Acts 2. Peter says that David was looking forward to the resurrection of Jesus in this verse.

Paul meets Aquila and Priscilla in Corinth. They work together. They synagogue is resistant to Paul's message. Timothy and Silas arrive from Macedonia and Paul begins to devote himself to full time ministry. He stays there a year and six months. At the end the Jews try to bring him up on charges before the proconsul. But he won't hear of it. They beat one of the leaders of the synagogue in front of the proconsul but he is unconcerned. Paul leaves and ends up back in Antioch. Then he heads out on his third missionary tour. First stop is Ephesus. Apollo was there. He knew Jesus but only knew the baptism of John for a response to his preaching. Aquila and Priscilla are there now and they teach him privately and he heads out to Corinth.
