Crispus, the synagogue leader in Corinth, believed in Jesus and was baptized by Paul.
Crispus was the synagogue ruler in Corinth who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ along with his entire household following Paul's preaching (Acts 18:8). Paul specifically mentions baptizing Crispus in 1 Corinthians 1:14, noting him as one of only a few people he personally baptized in Corinth. His conversion as the ruler of the Jewish synagogue was a significant breakthrough in Paul's Corinthian mission, demonstrating that even prominent members of the Jewish community were responding to the gospel.
