Acts 18:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah!”

But Saul grew more capable and kept confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this One is the Messiah.

He commanded us to preach to the people and to solemnly testify that He is the One appointed by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.

explaining and showing that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead: “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah.”

I testified to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.

You also will testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

I have written you this brief letter through Silvanus

(I know him to be a faithful brother) to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it!
