³⁵ So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him the Good News about Jesus.

²⁷ Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸ He refuted the Jews with powerful arguments in public debate. Using the Scriptures, he explained to them that Jesus was the Messiah.

²³ So a time was set, and on that day a large number of people came to Paul’s lodging. He explained and testified about the Kingdom of God and tried to persuade them about Jesus from the Scriptures. Using the law of Moses and the books of the prophets, he spoke to them from morning until evening.

² and he began to teach them.

² For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.

¹¹ They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward.

¹² They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.

²¹ Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him,

¹¹ Oh, dear Corinthian friends! We have spoken honestly with you, and our hearts are open to you.

²³ So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense.
