What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
Again they haste past the small cities, and press on to the greater ones, since from those the word was to flow as from a fountain into the neighboring cities. "And Paul, as his manner was, went into the synagogue of the Jews." Although he had said, "We turn to the Gentiles" (ch. xiii. 46), he did not leave these alone: such was the longing affection he had towards them. For hear him saying, "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved" (Rom. x. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
They pass by the small cities "Amphipolis and Apollonia" and hurry to the large ones, since from the latter the word of God was to spread to the neighboring cities. "They came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue." Although Paul had said, "But since you… make yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles" (Acts 13:46), he did not abandon the Jews either, because he felt great sorrow for them.
