Acts 18:4 - Additional Comments

Note that both Jews and Greeks were allowed in the synagogue. Note also that Paul was at this point preaching to both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles), but soon would only be preaching to the Gentiles (verse 6).
He only preached in the synagogue once a week. It wasn't every day. He must have been earning his living during the week, and preaching on the weekends.
See how the apostles propagated the gospel - not by force and violence, not by fire and sword, not by demanding a consent, but by fair and persuasive reasoning, enough that some came to faith by his words.
