And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
So they picked a day to meet up, and a bunch of people came to Paul's place. He spent the entire day, literally morning to night, breaking down everything about God's kingdom and explaining how Jesus was the answer they'd been waiting for. He used all the scriptures they already knew, connecting the dots from Moses and the prophets to show them this was always the plan.
Paul pulled an all-day study session to show people that Jesus was exactly who the scriptures had been pointing to all along.
