PART XXVIII - IX
"I, Paul, was very pleased that the meeting with the Jewish leaders the other day had gone quite well.... We had met at my home here in Rome at that time... They seemed to have been very open to what I had shared with them.... They had told me as well that they had not heard about a court case against me.... And I had had an opportinity to begin to talk with them about "the hope of Israel.".... That had caused them to ask me to share with them my view on The Way.... They seemed to have heard about it.... But what they had heard seemed to have been rumours only....I was very pleased when they asked me at that time if we could meet another day....I was only too happy to arrange another meeting with them...They came this morning....This time there were many more of them....The Jewish leaders have obviously spread the word around their community about this meeting today at my home...I am very pleased that I have a spacious home so I could receive many people and did not have to send anyone away because of lack of space...I have already been talking to them for a number of hours.... We did have a short break a little while ago... But I have much to share so I continued talking very soon afterwards....I have been patiently teaching them on the Kingdom of God... And have been carefully explaining to them that the prophecies about the law of Moses and the prophets have been fulfilled in the person of Jesus..... From the expressions on the faces in front of me, it seems, at least some of them are in agreement with me....I'm sure I will soon find out."....

PART XXVIII - IX
Another day has been arranged for Paul to speak to the Jews. The Jewish leaders invite many others from their community and at the arranged day they all come to hear him speak as you can read in Acts 28:23
They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. From morning till evening he explained and declared to them the kindgdom of God and tried to convince them about Jesus from the law of Moses and from the Prophets.
Everyone listens very careully to what Paul shares with them. As a result some realise the truth of what he shares with them as you can read in Acts 28:24
Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.
That day some became followers of The Way while others remained doubtful about what Paul shared.
