Acts 17:1-7 ▼

1 And having traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came into Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

2 And according to custom to Paul, he came in unto them, and for three Sabbaths he expounded unto them from the scriptures,

3 opening and proving, that it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is the Christ.

4 And certain ones of them were persuaded, and identified themselves with Paul and Silas, and of the pious Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

5 But the Jews giving away to jealousy, and receiving to themselves certain wicked men of those around the forum, and raising a mob, continued to put the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they were seeking to lead them out to the people:

6 but not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, roaring that, These who have turned the world upside down are also come hither;

7 whom Jason has received: and all these are doing contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another King, Jesus.
