Acts 17:1–9

Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to ^aThessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: ²and Paul, ^bas his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them ^cout of the scriptures, ^3dopening and alleging, that ^eChrist must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this ^fJesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. ^4gAnd some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and ^hSilas; and of the ⁱdevout ^kGreeks a great multitude, and of ^lthe chief women not a few. ⁵But ^mthe Jews which believed not, ⁿmoved with envy, took unto them certain ^olewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of ^pJason, and sought to bring them out to the people. ⁶And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain ^qbrethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, ^rThese that have ^sturned ^tthe world upside down are come hither also; ⁷whom Jason hath ^ureceived: and these all do contrary to the ^vdecrees of Cesar, ^wsaying that there is another king, one Jesus. ⁸And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. ⁹And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
