Acts 17:1-9

ABU(i) 1 AND passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews. 2 And Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 opening them, and setting forth that the Christ must suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that this is the Christ, Jesus whom I preach to you. 4 And some of them believed, and joined themselves to 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, having taken to them, of the idlers in the market-place, certain vicious men, and having gathered a crowd, set the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them unto the people. 6 And not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying: These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also. 7 Whom Jason has received; and all these are acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. 8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. 9 And having taken security of Jason, and of the others, they let them go.
