{Spake boldly} (eparr(8873)iazeto). Imperfect middle, kept on
at it for three months. Cf. same word in  18:26 . {Persuading}
(peith(936e)). Present active conative participle of peith(935c),
trying to persuade ( 28:23 ). Paul's idea of the Kingdom of God
was the church of God which he (Jesus, God's Son) had purchased
with his own blood ( Ac 20:28 , calling Christ God). Nowhere else
had Paul apparently been able to speak so long in the synagogue
without interruption unless it was so at Corinth. These Jews were
already interested ( 18:30 ).
