New Testament
Gallio
The Roman proconsul of Achaia who dismissed the charges brought against the apostle Paul in Corinth.
Gallio was the Roman proconsul of Achaia during Paul's ministry in Corinth. When Jewish leaders brought Paul before his tribunal, Gallio refused to adjudicate matters of Jewish law, viewing them as outside his jurisdiction. His indifference allowed Paul to continue his missionary work, fulfilling the Lord's promise that no one would attack him in that city.
