Question

They were the first to hear Paul preach the gospel in each city. They listened for a few hours, days, or weeks, before deciding they no longer wanted Paul to speak to them. Some of them opposed Paul, sometimes following him from city to city. They did not, though, stop Paul from delivering the gospel of Jesus Christ to them. Who were they?

pagans
Samaritans
Jews
Gentiles

Answer 1

They were the **Jews**. In many of Paul's missionary journeys, he initially preached in synagogues and encountered opposition from some Jewish leaders and members of the community. While some accepted his message, others opposed him and followed him to different cities in an effort to undermine his ministry.
