'Arguing' in the Bible

but when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia (northern Greece), Paul began devoting himself completely to [preaching] the word, and solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).

And he went into the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and arguing and persuading them about the kingdom of God.

[And when he had said these things, the Jews left, arguing among themselves.]
