Acts 17:2-9

Riverside(i) 2 According to Paul's custom he went in to meet with them, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and showing that it was necessary that the Christ should suffer and rise from the dead, and saying, "Jesus of whom I am telling you is the Christ." 4 Some of them were persuaded and attached themselves to Paul and Silas — a large number of the pious Greeks and not a few of the leading women. 5 But the Jews became excited and, taking with them some of the base loafers from the market-place, they made a mob and threw the city into confusion. They attacked the house of Jason and tried to bring Paul and Silas out to the people. 6 Not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the magistrates, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have now come here. 7 Jason has received them. They all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is a different king — Jesus." 8 Both the crowd and the magistrates were disturbed on hearing this. 9 So they took security from Jason and the rest and then dismissed them.
