Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

Gallio, the Proconsul of Corinth and surrounding territory, was the brother of Seneca, the tutor of Nero.

Acts 18:9-17

Fact of the Day

When Paul first arrived in Corinth, he was afraid.  But God told him he would be safe.  Soon after, Gallio saved Paul from beatings, imprisonment and possibly even stoning when the Jews took him to court.  Instead, he threw the case out and threw the Jews out.  Then Paul stayed in Corinth a year and a half.  We wonder if they became friends.   A few years later when Paul stood before Nero for his first trial, did Gallio have anything to do with Paul’s release?   Did Gallio save Paul twice?
