Acts 18:14
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
Cross-reference
Acts 23:27-29 has the Roman commander concluding Paul was accused only about Jewish law, no crime — mirroring Gallio's dismissal in Acts 18:14.
Acts 25:18-20 shows Festus recognizing the accusation as religious, not criminal — exactly the distinction Gallio made in Acts 18:14.
In Acts 25:5, Festus invites accusers to bring charges if there is wrongdoing, echoing Gallio's condition for accepting a complaint.
In Acts 19:38, the town clerk urges proper legal channels, mirroring Gallio's willingness to hear criminal charges but not religious disputes.
In Acts 26:1, Agrippa gives Paul permission to speak, paralleling the legal setting in Acts 18:14 where Gallio addresses Paul before he can defend himself.
Acts 26:2 shows Paul beginning his defense before Agrippa, directly answering accusations — similar to the situation in Acts 18:14 where Paul is about to answer Jewish charges.
Exodus 18:16 shows Moses judging all disputes and teaching God's laws — Gallio here refuses to judge religious disputes, only criminal. A contrast in judicial scope.
Luke 21:12-15 promises that believers brought before rulers will be given wisdom; Acts 18:14 places Paul before Proconsul Gallio, fitting that scenario.
Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:1 rebukes believers for taking disputes to secular courts, contrasting with Gallio's refusal to hear religious cases.
