Acts 18:4

In the synagogue, Paul conversed (engaged in dialogue) every Sabbath and persuaded (was winning over – Gk. peitho) both Jews and Greeks.
[The word "Greeks" here may refer to Greek-speaking Jews and proselytes (Greeks who converted to Judaism as adults), but it is also likely that the term here also includes God-fearing Greeks who participated in public worship. In verse 6, Paul goes to the Gentiles, non-Jews with no Jewish background; see also the introduction to Acts 15. Grammatically, the imperfect tense of peitho can be interpreted as meaning that he tried to persuade them (but without success). Based on the context, some Jews were not convinced (verse 6), while others were (verse 8), so the meaning is probably that he tried and some were convinced and others were not. Since the Lord himself says that he has "many people in this city" (verse 10), the Kärnbibeln translates it as he persuaded, in the sense that most people were also persuaded.]
