17 Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn't care about any of these things.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers,{The word for 'brothers' here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated 'brothers and sisters' or 'siblings.'} and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, 'I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills,' he set sail from Ephesus.
