Acts 17:1-9

Noyes(i) 1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews. 2 And Paul, as his custom was, went in among them, and for three sabbaths discoursed to them out of the Scriptures, 3 explaining them, and setting forth that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that "this is the Christ,Jesus whom I am making known to you." 4 And some of them were convinced, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the women of high rank not a few. 5 But the unbelieving Jews, taking with them certain bad men of the idlers in the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar; and having come to the house of Jason, they endeavored to bring them out to the people; 6 but not finding them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city magistrates, crying out, These men that have turned the world upside down have come hither also; 7 whom Jason hath entertained; and they are all acting in opposition to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. 8 And they alarmed the multitude and the city magistrates when they heard these things. 9 And having taken security of Jason and of the others, they let them go.
