17 Then the Greeks all seized Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him right in front of the judgment seat; but Gallio paid no attention to any of this. [1 Cor 1:1]
Passage themes
Sosthenes beaten — Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue
The judge's indifference — And Gallio cared for none of those things
Notes and references
As leader of the synagogue Sosthenes would have presented the charges against Paul. Apparently something related to this made him the target of the attack. If this Sosthenes is the same man mentioned in 1 Cor 1:1, he later became a believer and follower of Christ.
