Keep ReadingAnd he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God. But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.

He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding (Acts 19:13-16).
