They listened to Paul for a while, then opposed him.
Explanation (brief): Paul usually began by preaching in the synagogues; many Jews and God‑fearers initially heard and some believed, but in numerous cities Jewish opponents soon contradicted, incited mobs, or expelled him (e.g. Pisidian Antioch and Lystra — Acts 13–14; Thessalonica and Berea — Acts 17; Corinth — Acts 18; Ephesus — Acts 19). There were exceptions (Berea received the message more nobly), but the recurring pattern was initial listening followed by opposition.
