1 Now G1161 when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia , they came G2064 to Thessalonica Θεσσαλονίκην, Thessalonikēn G2332 , where ὅπου hopou G3699 was G1510 a synagogue συναγωγὴ sunagōgē G4864 of the Jews Ἰουδαίων. Ioudaiōn G2453 : 2 and Paul Παύλῳ Paulō G3972 , as his custom was , went G1525 in unto them , and for three τρία tria G5140 sabbath σάββατα sabbata G4521 days reasoned διελέξατο dielexato G1256 with them from the scriptures G1124 , 3 opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ χριστὸν christon G5547 to suffer παθεῖν pathein G3958 , and to rise G450 again G450 from the dead νεκρῶν nekrōn G3498 ; and that this Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 , whom , said he , I proclaim G2605 unto you , is G1510 the Christ χριστὸς christos G5547 . 4 And some of them were persuaded G3982 , and consorted with Paul Παύλῳ Paulō G3972 and Silas Σιλᾷ, Sila G4609 ; and of the devout Greeks Ἑλλήνων Hellēnōn G1672 a great πολύ, polu G4183 multitude πλῆθος plēthos G4128 , and of the chief women G1135 not a few ὀλίγαι.¶ oligai G3641 . 5 But the Jews Ἰουδαῖοι Ioudaioi G2453 , being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain τινὰς tinas G5100 vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city πόλιν, polin G4172 on an uproar; and assaulting the house οἰκίᾳ oikia G3614 of Jason Ἰάσονος Iasonos G2394 , they sought ἐζήτουν ezētoun G2212 to bring προαγαγεῖν proagagein G4254 them forth to the people . 6 And when they found G2147 them not , they dragged Jason Ἰάσονα Iasona G2394 and certain τινας tinas G5100 brethren before the rulers of the city πολιτάρχας politarchas G4173 , crying βοῶντες boōntes G994 , These that have turned the world οἰκουμένην oikoumenēn G3625 upside down are come hither also G2532 ; 7 whom Jason Ἰάσων· Iasōn G2394 hath received : and these all act contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying G3004 that there is G1510 another king βασιλέα basilea G935 , one G3739 Jesus Ἰησοῦν. Iēsoun G2424 . 8 And they troubled G5015 the multitude G3793 and the rulers of the city πολιτάρχας politarchas G4173 , when they heard ἀκούοντας akouontas G191 these things ταῦτα· tauta G3778 . 9 And when they had taken G2983 security from Jason Ἰάσονος Iasonos G2394 and the rest λοιπῶν loipōn G3062 , they let them go ἀπέλυσαν apelusan G630 . 10 And the brethren immediately εὐθέως eutheōs G2112 sent away Paul Παῦλον Paulon G3972 and Silas Σιλᾶν Silan G4609 by night νυκτὸς nuktos G3571 unto Beroea: who when they were come G3854 thither went into the synagogue συναγωγὴν sunagōgēn G4864 of the Jews Ἰουδαίων Ioudaiōn G2453 . 11 Now δὲ de G1161 these were G1510 more noble than those in Thessalonica Θεσσαλονίκῃ, Thessalonikē G2332 , in that they received G1209 the word λόγον logon G3056 with all readiness προθυμίας prothumias G4288 of mind, examining the scriptures G1124 daily , whether these things G3778 were G1510 so οὕτως.¶ houtōs G3779 . 13 But when Ὡς Hōs G5613 the Jews Ἰουδαῖοι Ioudaioi G2453 of Thessalonica Θεσσαλονίκης Thessalonikēs G2332 had knowledge that the word λόγος logos G3056 of God θεοῦ, theou G2316 was proclaimed κατηγγέλη katēngelē G2605 of Paul Παύλου Paulou G3972 at Beroea also G2532 , they came G2064 thither likewise , stirring up and troubling the multitudes G3793 . 14 And then immediately εὐθέως eutheōs G2112 the brethren sent forth G1821 Paul Παῦλον Paulon G3972 to go πορεύεσθαι poreuesthai G4198 as far G2193 as to the sea θάλασσαν· thalassan G2281 : and Silas Σιλᾶς Silas G4609 and Timothy Τιμόθεος Timotheos G5095 abode there still . 15 But they that conducted Paul Παῦλον Paulon G3972 brought G71 him as far G2193 as Athens Ἀθηνῶν, Athēnōn G116 : and receiving G2983 a commandment G1785 unto Silas Σιλᾶν Silan G4609 and Timothy Τιμόθεον Timotheon G5095 that they should come ἔλθωσιν elthōsin G2064 to him with all speed, they departed.
