Acts 17:1-9

Rotherham(i) 1 And, travelling through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews; 2 and, according to Paul’s custom, he went in unto them, and, for three sabbaths, reasoned with them from the Scriptures,–– 3 opening up, and setting forth, that it was needful for, the Christ, to suffer, and to arise from among the dead; and [saying], This, is the Christ,––Jesus, whom, I, am declaring unto you. 4 And, some from among them, were persuaded, and cast in their lot with Paul and Silas; also, of the devout Greeks, a great throng, and, of the chief women, not a few. 5 But the Jews, being, jealous, and taking unto themselves certain wicked men, of the rabble, and making a riot, were setting the city in an uproar; and, besieging the house of Jason, were seeking to lead them forth unto the populace,–– 6 and, not finding them, they began dragging Jason and certain brethren unto the city–rulers, shouting––They who have thrown the inhabited earth into confusion, the same, hither also, are come,–– 7 unto whom Jason hath given welcome; and, these all, contrary to the decrees of Caesar, are acting,––saying that there is another king, Jesus. 8 And they troubled the multitude and the city–rulers, when they heard these things; 9 and, taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
