Acts 17:1-13

[1] Now  when they had passed through  Amphipolis  and  Apollonia,  they came  to  Thessalonica,  where  a synagogue  of the Jews:  [2] And  Paul,  as  his manner was,  went in  unto  them,  and  three  sabbath  days reasoned  with them  out of  the scriptures,  [3] Opening  and  alleging,  that  Christ  must needs  have suffered,  and  risen again  from  the dead;  and  that  this  Jesus,  whom  preach  Christ.  [4] And  some  of  them  believed,  and  consorted  with Paul  and  Silas;  and  of the devout  Greeks  a great  multitude,  and  of the chief  women  not  a few.  [5] But  the Jews  moved with envy,  took unto them  certain  lewd  fellows  of the baser sort,  and  gathered a company,  the city  on an uproar,  assaulted  the house  of Jason,  and sought  them  out  to the people.  [6] And  when they found  them  not,  they drew  Jason  and  certain  brethren  unto  the rulers of the city,  crying,  These  the world  upside down  are come  hither  also;  [7] Whom  Jason  hath received:  and  these  all  do  contrary  to the decrees  of Caesar,  saying  another  king,  one Jesus.  [8] And  they troubled  the people  and  the rulers of the city,  when they heard  [9] And  when they had taken  security  of  Jason,  and  of the other,  them  go.  [10] And  the brethren  immediately  sent away  Paul  and  Silas  by  night  unto  Berea:  who  coming  thither went  into  the synagogue  of the Jews.  [11] These  more noble  than those in  Thessalonica,  in that they  received  the word  with  all  readiness of mind,  and searched  the scriptures  daily,  whether  were  so.  [12] Therefore  many  of  them  believed;  also  of honourable  women  which  were Greeks,  and  of men,  not  a few.  [13] But  when  the Jews  of  Thessalonica  had knowledge  that  the word  of God  was preached  of  Paul  at  Berea,  they came  thither also,  and stirred up  the people.
