LEB(i)
1 Now after they* traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 ⌊And as was his custom⌋,* Paul went in to them and on three Sabbath days he discussed with them from the scriptures,
3 explaining and demonstrating that it was necessary for the Christ* to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ."*
4 And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, and also a large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few of the prominent women.
5 But the Jews were filled with jealousy and, taking along some worthless men from the rabble in the marketplace and forming a mob, threw the city into an uproar. And attacking Jason's house, they were looking for them to bring them* out to the popular assembly.
6 And when they* did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brothers before the city officials, shouting, "These people who have stirred up trouble throughout the world* have come here also,
7 whom Jason has entertained as guests! And these people are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king, Jesus!"
8 And they threw the crowd into confusion, and the city officials who heard these things.
9 And after* taking money as security from Jason and the rest, they released them.
