'Persuaded' in the Bible
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed.
Even by saying these things, they scarcely persuaded the crowds not to offer sacrifice to them.
After she and her household were baptized, she urged us, "If you consider me to be a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house." And she persuaded us.
Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large group of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.
And you see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a large crowd, not only in Ephesus but in practically all of the province of Asia, by saying that gods made by hands are not gods at all.
Because he could not be persuaded, we said no more except, "The Lord's will be done."
