📚 Historical Context

In the Book of Acts, Paul is delivering a sermon in a synagogue in Antioch of Pisidia during his first missionary journey, quoting from the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk to address a Jewish audience. He warns them that God is performing a significant work through the coming of Jesus Christ, which many will find unbelievable despite clear evidence. This context reflects the early church's efforts to spread the Gospel amid resistance from those who clung to traditional expectations.
