Acts 17:1-9

1When they had passed throughG1353 AmphipolisG295 andG2532 ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 toG1519 ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 there wasG1510 a JewishG3588G2453 synagogueG4864. 2As wasG2596 his customG1486, PaulG3972 went intoG1525G4314 the synagogue, andG2532 onG1909 threeG5140 SabbathsG4521 he reasonedG1256 with themG846 fromG575 theG3588 ScripturesG1124, 3explainingG1272 andG2532 provingG3908 thatG3754 theG3588 ChristG5547 had toG1163 sufferG3958 andG2532 riseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498. “ThisG3778 JesusG2424 IG1473 am proclaimingG2605 to youG4771 isG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547,” he declared. 4SomeG5100 ofG1537 the Jews were persuadedG3982 andG2532 joinedG4345 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609, along withG5037 a largeG4183 numberG4128 ofG3588 God-fearingG4576 GreeksG1672 andG5037 quite a fewG3641 leadingG4413 womenG1135.

5TheG3588 JewsG2453, howeverG1161, became jealousG2206. So they brought inG4355 someG5100 troublemakersG4190G435 from theG3588 marketplaceG60, formed a mobG3792, and sent the city into an uproarG2350G3588G4172. They raidedG2186 Jason’sG2394 houseG3614 in search ofG2212 Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them outG4254 toG1519 theG3588 peopleG1218. 6But whenG1161 they could not findG3361G2147 themG846, they draggedG4951 JasonG2394 andG2532 some otherG5100 brothersG80 beforeG1909 theG3588 city officialsG4173, shoutingG994, “TheseG3778 men whoG3588 have turnedG387 the world upside downG3588G3625 have now comeG3918G2532 hereG1759, 7and JasonG2394 has welcomed them into his homeG5264G3739. TheyG3778 are allG3956 defyingG4238G561 Caesar’sG2541 decreesG1378, saying thatG3004 there isG1510 anotherG2087 kingG935, named JesusG2424!”

8On hearingG191 thisG3778, theG3588 crowdG3793 andG2532 city officialsG4173 were greatly disturbedG5015. 9AndG2532 they collectedG2983 bondG2425 fromG3844 JasonG2394 andG2532 theG3588 othersG3062 and then releasedG630 themG846.
