Acts 18:19

19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

Ver. 19. And reasoned with the Jews ] Whose salvation he dearly desired, Romans 9:3 , and therefore never gave them over, though he had small thanks for his labour. His love to them was like the ivy, which if it cleaves to a stone or an old wall, will rather die than forsake it.
