A Strategic New Location
Commentators highlight that Paul's move into the house next to the synagogue was a deliberate and strategic decision. After being rejected by the synagogue, he established a new base of operations right on its doorstep. This made the Christian message highly visible and accessible to those still attending the synagogue, particularly other God-fearing Gentiles. Some scholars even suggest this was a provocative act, clearly drawing a line between the synagogue and the new Christian community.
