But three monthswas all he stayed because unbelievers spoke evil ofthat way.Verse 9,But when divers [many] were hardened, and believednot, but spake evil of that way beforethe multitude, he [Paul] departed from them,and separated the disciples, disputing daily inthe school of one Tyrannus.Paul went into the synagogue for three monthspreaching and teaching the Word of God; but whenthey refused to believe the Word of God, Paul separatedthe believers. He said, "You people who wantto believe come with me; we are going over to theschool of Tyrannus. The rest of you who do not wantto believe the accuracy of God's Word just stay hereat the synagogue." Actually it was not Paul whobroke up this synagogue. The hardened and evilspeakerswith their unbelief were the ones responsiblefor the break-up of the Ephesian synagogue.
