Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks.

Each Sabbath found Paul at the synagogue, trying to convince the Jews and Greeks alike.

He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and tried to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

And Paul was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

He addressed both Jews and Greeks in the synagogue every Sabbath, attempting to persuade them.

He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

So he went to the synagogue. There he talked both with Jews and with Greeks who worshiped God. Each day he spoke with anyone who happened to be in the market place.

We know what it means to have respect for the Lord. So we try to help other people to understand it. What we are is plain to God. I hope it is also plain to your way of thinking.

Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. On the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue as he usually did. He stood up to read.

Hezekiah says,“ The Lord our God will save us from the power of the king of Assyria.” But he isn’t telling you the truth. If you listen to him, you will die of hunger and thirst.

The Berean Jews were very glad to receive Paul’s message. They studied the Scriptures carefully every day. They wanted to see if what Paul said was true. So they were more noble than the Thessalonian Jews.

They made a charge against Paul. They said,“ This man is talking people into worshiping God in wrong ways. Those ways are against the law.”

Paul entered the synagogue. There he spoke boldly for three months. He gave good reasons for believing the truth about God’s kingdom.

You have seen and heard what this fellow Paul is doing. He has talked to large numbers of people here in Ephesus. Almost everywhere in Asia Minor he has led people away from our gods. He says that the gods made by human hands are not gods at all.

“ Abraham said to him,‘ They do not listen to Moses and the Prophets. So they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath day they entered the synagogue and sat down.The Law and the Prophets were read aloud. Then the leaders of the synagogue sent word to Paul and his companions. They said,“ Brothers, do you have any words of instruction for the people? If you do, please speak.”Paul stood up and motioned with his hand. Then he said,“ Fellow Israelites, and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me!The God of Israel chose our people who lived long ago. He blessed them greatly while they were in Egypt. With his mighty power he led them out of that country.He put up with their behavior for about 40 years in the desert.And he destroyed seven nations in Canaan. Then he gave the land to his people as their rightful share.All this took about 450 years.“ After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.Then the people asked for a king. He gave them Saul, son of Kish. Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin. He ruled for 40 years.God removed him and made David their king. Here is God’s witness about him.‘ David, son of Jesse, is a man dear to my heart,’ he said.‘ David will do everything I want him to do.’“ From this man’s family line God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus. This is what he had promised.Before Jesus came, John preached that we should turn away from our sins and be baptized. He preached this to all Israel.John was coming to the end of his work.‘ Who do you suppose I am?’ he said.‘ I am not the one you are looking for. But there is someone coming after me. I am not good enough to untie his sandals.’“ Listen, fellow children of Abraham! Listen, you Gentiles who worship God! This message of salvation has been sent to us.The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus. By finding him guilty, they made the prophets’ words come true. These are read every Sabbath day.The people and their rulers had no reason at all for sentencing Jesus to death. But they asked Pilate to have him killed.They did everything that had been written about Jesus. Then they took him down from the cross. They laid him in a tomb.But God raised him from the dead.For many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. Now they are telling our people about Jesus.“ We are telling you the good news. What God promised our people long agohe has done for us, their children. He has raised up Jesus. This is what is written in the second Psalm. It says,“‘ You are my son. Today I have become your father.’( Psalm 2:7)God raised Jesus from the dead. He will never rot in the grave. As God has said,“‘ Holy and sure blessings were promised to David. I will give them to you.’( Isaiah 55:3)In another place it also says,“‘ You will not let your holy one rot away.’( Psalm 16:10)“ David carried out God’s purpose while he lived. Then he died. He was buried with his people. His body rotted away.But the one whom God raised from the dead did not rot away.“ My friends, here is what I want you to know. I announce to you that your sins can be forgiven because of what Jesus has done.Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin. Moses’ law could not make you right in God’s eyes.Be careful! Don’t let what the prophets spoke about happen to you. They said,“‘ Look, you who make fun of the truth! Wonder and die! I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe. You wouldn’t believe it even if someone told you.’ ”( Habakkuk 1:5)Paul and Barnabas started to leave the synagogue. The people invited them to say more about these things on the next Sabbath day.The people were told they could leave the service. Many Jews followed Paul and Barnabas. Many Gentiles who faithfully worshiped the God of the Jews did the same. Paul and Barnabas talked with them. They tried to get them to keep living in God’s grace.On the next Sabbath day, almost the whole city gathered. They gathered to hear the word of the Lord.When the Jews saw the crowds, they became very jealous. They began to disagree with what Paul was saying. They said evil things against him.Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly.“ We had to speak God’s word to you first,” they said.“ But you don’t accept it. You don’t think you are good enough for eternal life. So now we are turning to the Gentiles.This is what the Lord has commanded us to do. He said,“‘ I have made you a light for the Gentiles. You will bring salvation to the whole earth.’ ”( Isaiah 49:6)When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad. They honored the word of the Lord. All who were appointed for eternal life believed.The word of the Lord spread through the whole area.But the Jewish leaders stirred up the important women who worshiped God. They also stirred up the men who were leaders in the city. The Jewish leaders tried to get the women and men to attack Paul and Barnabas. They threw Paul and Barnabas out of that area.Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet. This was a warning to the people who had opposed them. Then Paul and Barnabas went on to Iconium.The believers were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue as usual. They spoke there with great power. Large numbers of Jews and Greeks became believers.

Then Agrippa spoke to Paul.“ Are you trying to talk me into becoming a Christian?” he said.“ Do you think you can do that in such a short time?”

They decided to meet Paul on a certain day. At that time even more people came to the place where he was staying. From morning until evening, he told them about God’s kingdom. Using the Law of Moses and the Prophets, he tried to get them to believe in Jesus.

Paul and those traveling with him passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia. They came to Thessalonica. A Jewish synagogue was there.Paul went into the synagogue as he usually did. For three Sabbath days in a row he talked with the Jews about the Scriptures.He explained and proved that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead.“ This Jesus I am telling you about is the Messiah!” he said.

May God add land to Japheth’s territory. May Japheth live in the tents of Shem. And may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
