his first visit there.

Verse
12 describes how when Gallio became the
governor, a group of Jews opposed to Paul brought him before the
court. The place for judgment in Greek cities was called the 'bema'.
It was a platform in the agora, or marketplace. This photo shows
the remains of part of the agora at Corinth |

The bema
at Corinth, pictured here, was built out of blue and white marble,
in about 44 AD. Roman officials would have sat here to pass judgment
on legal matters.
Gallio refused
to hear Paul's case, implying it was an internal Jewish religious
dispute.
