Acts 13:16

Paul stood up. In Judea, the speakers remained seated. Among the Greek-speaking Jews, they stood up to speak to the group. These next verses show us how Paul preached in the Synagogues. He begins by showing the glory of Israel; then to King David, hero of all Israelites; then to David's descendant, Jesus Christ. He did this to build up a common bond with them, so they would listen when he told them about Jesus. Compare 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, Fellow Israelites. Those who were born Jews. All Gentiles here. Judaism was "missionary-minded" at this time and attracted Gentiles who learned to "fear" [reverence] God and study his word.
