Acts 14:21 reports the fruit of that preaching — they made many disciples in the same region.

Acts 8:4 describes the same pattern: scattered believers continue preaching the word despite persecution.

Acts 11:19 shows other scattered believers preaching, though initially to Jews only — a similar scattering but different audience.

1 Thessalonians 2:2 echoes this boldness: Paul preaches the gospel despite suffering and conflict.

Matthew 10:23 records Jesus' instruction to flee persecution and keep preaching — Paul obeys that command here.
