加里雍任格林多總督主元51年。這信息有助於我們了解保錄何時身在格林多，以及他何時寫下新約聖經的第一部作品－得撒洛尼人前書。

路加記載了加里雍的決定，他試圖證明猶太人和耶穌信徒之間的爭論不屬於羅馬法律的管轄範圍，因此猶太人無權在羅馬法官面前起訴耶穌的門徒（路加或許指的是保祿在羅馬的遭遇）。

保祿行事為人是跟隨耶穌，而非跟隨人間的法律（無論如何，人間的法律也不願干涉）。存在著一片自由的領域，任何人都無權涉足。這片領域屬於耶穌（順便一提，祂是凌駕於一切人間權力之上的絕對主宰），也屬於我們與祂的關係。

Gallio was governor in Corinth about the year 51 AD. This information helps us to know when Paul was in Corinth and when he wrote the First Letter to the Thessalonians, the first work of the New Testament,

Luke reports the decision of Gallio to prove that the discussions between the Jews and the believers in Jesus do not fall within the competence of the Roman law, therefore the Jews have no right to sue the disciples of Jesus in front of Roman judges (Luke perhaps thinks of the process against Paul in Rome).

Paul walks in front of Jesus, not in front of human laws (which do not want to interfere, anyway). There is a space of freedom where no human institution has the right to enter. It is the space that belongs to Jesus (who, by the way, is the absolute Lord of every human power) and to our relationship with him.
