But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

1. Some resisted. They refused to believe and obey the gospel.

2. They began the usual objections about "the way."

3. This word refers to a course of conduct, a way of thinking and acting. Paul was preaching, not just baptism, but a whole new course of conduct. Baptism is the beginning of a new life. Baptism is when we are born again (John 3:5)and are raised to walk in a new life. (Romans 6:3-4) We become a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

4. Paul began, what might be considered, the first school of preaching. He started teaching at the school of Tyrannus. This was a daily teaching opportunity to teach, train, and prepare others for the work of evangelism.
