Contrary to pious foreigners, most Jews often rejected Paul and his messages (Acts 13:45, 50; 14:2, 19; 17:5; 18:12; 21:27; 23:12). So, whenever he was expelled out of synagogues frequently, he moved other towns (Acts 18:7; 19:7) and headed for synagogues again. In this context, Herbert Kane properly pointed out that synagogues were the place to supply Paul with the best chance to witness Christ as well as the place to confront most hostile groups in his ministry.
