Verse 4
And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
Some were persuaded ... By the very nature of the gospel, some believe it, others do not; but the difference lies in the hearts of the hearers. The gospel is a message of life to some, death to others (2 Corinthians 2:16).
The devout Greeks ... "Not necessarily proselytes, but persons who had given up idolatry, attended synagogue services and worshiped God."[10] Some have pointed out that this was the first place where Paul gathered a congregation which included socially prominent people.
