Study note
Setting — Paul remains in Corinth after receiving the Lord’s assurance of protection, immediately preceding the Jewish leaders’ attempt to prosecute him before Gallio.
The words — ἐκάθισεν (ekathisen) translates literally to “he remained,” and διδάσκων (didaskōn) means “teaching,” describing a continuous, stationary activity rather than a passing visit.
The thread — This model of prolonged residence for instruction recurs in Acts 14:3, Acts 19:10, and Acts 20:31.
Why it lands — It requires readers to recognize that faithful proclamation depends on sustained presence and direct teaching instead of brief, mobile encounters.
