Acts 18:17

Then they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal, without Gallio paying any attention.
[Some time had passed since Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, had come to faith, see verse 8. His successor was Sosthenes, see verse 17. It is not entirely clear who "all" those who beat Sosthenes refers to. Most likely, it is the Greek locals who attack the Jewish minority in the city, but it could also be the Jews who are angry at Sosthenes for losing the case. Paul mentions a Sosthenes in his first letter to Corinth (1 Cor. 1:1), which he wrote a couple of years later from Ephesus (1 Cor. 16:8). If it is the same person, he became a Christian after this event.]
