Hechos 18:4 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 18:4

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath
In Corinth there was a synagogue of the Jews, in which they met together for worship on the seventh day of the week, which was their sabbath; and hither Paul went, and took the opportunity of reasoning with them out of the Scriptures, concerning Christ, his person, and offices, his incarnation, obedience, sufferings, and death, and about redemption and salvation by him: we may observe the diligence, industry, and indefatigableness of the apostle; on the sabbath day he went to the synagogue, and preached Christ to those who there attended; and on the weekdays he laboured with his own hands. Beza's most ancient copy, and the Vulgate Latin version add here, "interposing the name of the Lord Jesus"; frequently making mention of his name, or calling upon it, and doing miracles in it.

And persuaded the Jews and the Greeks;
this was the effect of his reasoning, and the success that attended it; some, both of the Jews, who were so by birth, as well as religion, and of the Greeks, or Gentiles, who were Jewish proselytes, and attended synagogue worship, were convinced by his arguments, and were induced to believe the truth of his doctrine, and to embrace it; or at least he endeavoured to persuade them that they were lost sinners, and that there was salvation for them in Christ, and in him only.

Hechos 18:4 In-Context

2 Allí se encontró con un judío llamado Aquila, natural del Ponto, y con su esposa Priscila. Hacía poco habían llegado de Italia, porque Claudio había mandado que todos los judíos fueran expulsados de Roma. Pablo fue a verlos

3 y, como hacía tiendas de campaña al igual que ellos, se quedó para que trabajaran juntos.

4 Todos los sábados discutía en la sinagoga, tratando de persuadir a judíos y a griegos.

5 Cuando Silas y Timoteo llegaron de Macedonia, Pablo se dedicó exclusivamente a la predicación, testificándoles a los judíos que Jesús era el Mesías.

6 Pero cuando los judíos se opusieron a Pablo y lo insultaron, este se sacudió la ropa en señal de protesta y les dijo: «¡Caiga la sangre de ustedes sobre su propia cabeza! Estoy libre de responsabilidad. De ahora en adelante me dirigiré a los gentiles».
