What the Fathers say

Acts 18:4

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

"And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was straitened in the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ." "And when the Jews opposed and blasphemed," i.e. they tried to bear him down, they set upon him. "And he disputed in the synagogue every sabbath day, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks": but "when they opposed and blasphemed" he withdrew, by this expecting to draw them more.
