Acts 28:21-24
21 Then they said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brethren who came reported or spoken any evil of you. 22 But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.” 23 So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening. 24 And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
The Roman Jews listened to hear what this new sect was about, for they did not hear anything except that many were against it. So Paul took a whole day to meet and tell of the kingdom of God that was in and through Jesus Christ alone. He showed Old Testament scriptures all pointed to and told of the Christ. Some were moved to understanding and others refused to believe the facts. Even now many will hear the truth of God, yet choose to believe otherwise, refusing to trust God and admit their accountability to Him. They choose not to believe and submit to His authority, and remain in their sin.
