Acts 19:8

Read in context

Acts 19:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

7 There were about twelve men in all.

8 Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.

9 But when some of them stubbornly refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way, Paul took his disciples and left the synagogue to conduct daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

10 This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.
