Acts 17:1-9

Wesley(i) 1 And taking their journey through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 And Paul, according to his custom, went in to them, and three sabbath-days discoursed with them from the scriptures, 3 Opening them and evincing, That Christ ought to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that this is the Christ, even Jesus, whom I declare unto you. 4 And some of them believed, and were joined to Paul and Silas, and a great number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the principal women. 5 But the Jews who believed not, filled with zeal, taking to them some of the mean and profligate fellows, and making a mob, set all the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying aloud, These men, that have turned the world upside down, are come hither also: 7 Whom Jason hath privately received; and all these men act contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, that there is another king, one Jesus. 8 And they alarmed the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. 9 However having taken security of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
