Paul traveled with Barnabas to Thessalonica where he reasoned with Jews from scripture for three Sabbaths. Paul's sermon reviewed God's dealings with Israel, introduced Jesus as the promised savior, and provided evidence for his resurrection. Many Jews and Gentiles responded positively, seeking more teachings from Paul and Barnabas, though some Jews grew envious. Despite later being persecuted and forced to leave, Paul and Barnabas continued spreading the word and rejoicing in their work.
