Traveling to Corinth, Paul stayed with Aquila and Priscilla making tents. When the unbelieving Jews rejected the gospel--although the ruler of the synagogue and his family had given their lives to Christ--, Paul took the gospel to the Gentiles, and many believed. In order to encourage Paul in light of his past experience in Philippi, the Lord appeared to him, promising His protection. After an uprising by unbelieving Jews was dismissed by the Roman proconsul, Paul began his journey back to Antioch by way of Ephesus.
