'Arguing' in the Bible

He kept talking and arguing with the Hellenistic Jews, but they were bent on murdering him.

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.

They did not find me arguing with anyone or stirring up a crowd in the temple courts or in the synagogues or throughout the city,

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