This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
17. διελέγετο … τοῖς Ἰουδαῖοις, therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews. Going to them first, as sure to find from them sympathy in his horror against idolatry.
τοῖς σεβομένοις, with the devout persons, the proselytes of the gate. See above on Act 13:50.
καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ κατὰ πᾶσαν ἡμέραν, and in the market daily. One cannot but be reminded of the way in which Socrates some centuries earlier had thus gone about in the same city, seizing eagerly on every one who would listen, and trying, according to his light, to shew them higher things, to open their eyes that they might discern between real knowledge and conceit without knowledge.
