The.se Jews wore more liberal In their view, because ho was allowed to con- tinue hl.s preaching for a longer period than he had done elsewhere. For three months he continued to Bet forth the message of the gospel of the kingdom of Clod. This Is a term which l.s not often found in Acts or the writings of Paul, and It lueurs mo.stly in the lirst three go.spels. The kingdom of God Is God's rule in this world, which Jesus had come to set up among men. Paul genorally speaks of the living Chri.'it -r of the church; but here he la preseiiled as eagerly discussing with his hearers the nature of this khiKdom. v. 9. The unbelieving Jews at last follow the pxample of those at Thes- salonica, and fry to throw ol)slucIes In the way of Paul's mission. They follow the methods of the perHociitors. and speak evil of this new doctrine, likely by spreading reports of the character and habits of Paul and his followers. The result was that Paul decides to go out and form a distinct church, separ- ated from the synagogup. The hall which be used was probably connected with one of the several gymnasia of EpheKiis. which wero tlie centres for the social life of the people, where they gatherod for recreation and to hear the lectures by distinguished speakers. Possibly Tyrannus was one of those lecturers who had been Inter- ested In P.iul and who placed the hall at his dl.sponal for part of tho time. In the mornings Paul would work at his trade of tent-maklnK, probably along with A(]ullla and Prlscllla, and then In the afternoon or evening he would meet the crowd'i who gathered to hear m'hat was going on. V. 10. I'aiil ronmlns at this task for two years, with the result that the en- tli-e dl.slrli-f nniund was evangllexcd. Paul had 'many helpers whom he sent out on missionary work.
