Acts 17:1-9

Murdock(i) 1 And they passed through the cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia, and came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 And Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and during three sabbaths he discoursed with them from the scriptures; 3 expounding and showing, that the Messiah was to suffer, and to arise from the dead, and that this Jesus whom I announce to you is the Messiah. 4 And some of them believed, and adhered to Paul and Silas; and of those Greeks who feared God, a great many; and also of noted women, not a few. 5 But the Jews were indignant, and gathered to themselves evil men from the marketplace of the city, and formed a great mob; and they alarmed the city, and came and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to draw them from it, and to deliver them up to the mob. 6 And when they found them not there, they drew Jason and the brethren who were there, and brought them before the chiefs of the city, crying out: These are they who have terrified all the country; and lo, they have come hither also: 7 and this Jason is their entertainer: and they all resist the commands of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. 8 And the chiefs of the city and all the people, were alarmed when they heard these things. 9 And they took sureties from Jason, and also from the brethren, and then released them.
