This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2. κατὰ δὲ τὸ εἰωθός, and as his manner was. On the Apostle’s constant habit of going to the synagogues see Act 13:5; Act 13:14, Act 14:1, &c. The dative case stands after εἰωθός, instead of the genitive, because the verb ἔθω governs a dative.

εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτούς, he went in unto them. And he was no doubt asked (as on a former occasion Act 13:15) to offer any exhortation to the people, if he were moved so to do.

ἐπὶ σάββατα τρία, three sabbath days. On which days the Jews would be sure to gather in greater numbers, and for the other days of the week to be less accessible.
