Paul and his problems with the Jews
ANTIOCH
Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

We all have friends and relatives that some just don’t want to hear it, and others think they don’t need to hear it and over time we just stop sharing the gospel with then out of frustration?
CORINTH
Paul just couldn’t help himself after he cooled down he headed back into the synagogue

Acts18:6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

And once again frustration and anger got the best of him and he said I am done with you? But as always he cooled down and once again turned to the Jews to spread the gospel.

When Paul had arrived in Rome he was able to rent a house, he had his roman guard chained to him and one last time he called the Jews to his house and preached the gospel to them

Acts 28:26-28 Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

Acts 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
