Acts 18:4 - Adam Clarke

Acts 18:4

2 And he found a certain Jew named ^aAquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them.

3 So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them ^aand worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.

4 ^aAnd he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

5 ^aWhen Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was ^bcompelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

6 But ^awhen they opposed him and blasphemed, ^bhe shook his garments and said to them, ^c“Your blood be upon your own heads; ^dI am clean. ^eFrom now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

Acts 18:4

He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath - Discoursed at large concerning Jesus as the Messiah, proving this point from their own Scriptures, collated with the facts of our Lord' s life, etc.

And persuaded the Jews and the Greeks - Many, both Jews and proselytes, were convinced of the truth of his doctrine. Among his converts was Epenetus, the first fruit of his labor in Achaia, Romans 16:5; and the family of Stephanas was the next; and then Crispus and Caius, or Gaius; all of whom the apostle himself baptized, I Corinthians 1:14-16. See on Acts 18:8 (note).
