Acts 19:8-10
Modern English Version
8 He went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, lecturing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God. 9 But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the crowd, he withdrew from them and took the disciples, lecturing daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 This continued for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
