1 And having passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 And according to the custom with Paul, he went in to them and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 opening and setting forth that it behooved the Christ to have suffered and to have risen out from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.”
4 And some of them were obedient and joined themselves to Paul and to Silas, along with a great multitude of the worshipping Greeks, and not a few of the leading women.
5 Now the Jews having become jealous, and having taken to them certain wicked men of the market-loungers, and having collected a crowd, set the city in uproar. And having assailed the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring out to the people.
6 But not having found them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the city authorities, crying out, “These ones having upset the world come here also,
7 whom Jason has received. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, proclaiming another to be king, Jesus.”
8 And they stirred up the crowd and the city authorities, hearing these things.
9 And having taken security from Jason and the rest, they let go them.
