Acts 17 Paul Preaching In Synagogue 17 when paul and his companions had passed through amphipolis and apollonia, they came to thessalonica, where there was a jewish synagogue. 2 as was his custom, paul went into the synagogue, and on three sabbath days he reasoned with them from the scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that the messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. 32when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, “we want to hear you again on this subject.” 33at that, paul left the council. 34some of the people became followers of paul and believed.
Acts 17 Paul Preaching In Synagogue The synagogue was a central place for teaching and discussion of the jewish faith, making it a logical starting point for paul. his reasoning indicates a methodical and logical presentation of the gospel, likely using the hebrew scriptures to demonstrate that jesus is the messiah. 16 while paul was waiting for them in athens, he was deeply troubled by all the idols he saw everywhere in the city. 17 he went to the synagogue to reason with the jews and the god fearing gentiles, and he spoke daily in the public square to all who happened to be there. 2 as was his custom, paul went into the synagogue, and on three sabbath days he reasoned with them from the scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that the messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. “this jesus i am proclaiming to you is the messiah,” he said. In acts, you see a consistent pattern in paul's travels and ministry where he enters a city, on shabbat he goes to the synagogue, shares the gospel, ends up with the jews being upset and fighting with paul.

Paul and silas visit thessalonica, where they encounter opposition to their preaching. this passage describes paul and silas visiting thessalonica for the first time. thessalonica was located, with philippi, on the egnatian way, a major east west travel and trade route. As was his custom, paul went into the synagogue, and on three sabbath days he reasoned with them from the scriptures, explaining and proving that the messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. In this chapter, we find paul ministering the word in the “synagogue” on the sabbath days, reasoning with others who met with him daily in the market place, and preaching the word with power on mars hill (acts 17:1 3, 10 17, 22 31). But when the jews in thessalonica learned that paul was preaching the word of god at berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. the believers immediately sent paul to the coast, but silas and timothy stayed at berea.
