Quick answer
While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews jointly brought Paul before his judgment seat.
Overview
Gallio, brother of the philosopher Seneca, is datable from an inscription to around AD 51-52, providing one of the firmest anchors for New Testament chronology. The unified opposition shows the hostility Paul faced, yet God had already promised no harm would come to him. The scene sets the stage for a Roman official to inadvertently confirm the legitimacy of the Christian witness.
