ACTS 18:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.”
Then all the Greeks (literally, 'the Greeks,' Hellenes) seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the proconsul — It is unclear whether the violence reflects gentile anti-Semitism or a perverse victory celebration by Christian gentiles. Luke's ambiguity preserves the incident's historical integrity without ecclesiastical smoothing.
