Acts 17:1-13

1And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they cameG2064 to ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 wasG1510 the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453.

2And accordingG2596 to Paul's custom he wentG1525 in among them, and on threeG5140 sabbathsG4521 reasonedG1256 with them from the scripturesG1124,

3opening and laying down that the ChristG5547 must have sufferedG3958 and risenG450 up from among the deadG3498, and that this isG1510 the ChristG5547, JesusG2424 whom I announce to you.

4And some of them believed, and joined themselves to PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, and of the GreeksG1672 who worshipped, a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, and of the chief womenG1135 not a fewG3641.

5But the JewsG2453 having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to [themselves] certainG5100 wickedG4190 menG435 of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the cityG4172 in confusion; and having beset the houseG3614 of JasonG2394 soughtG2212 to bringG4254 them out to the people;

6and not having foundG2147 them, dragged JasonG2394 and certainG5100 brethren before the politarchs, cryingG994 out, These [menG3778] that have set the worldG3625 in tumult, are come hereG1759 alsoG2532,

7whom JasonG2394 has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of CaesarG2541, sayingG3004, that there isG1510 another kingG935, JesusG2424.

8And they troubledG5015 the crowdG3793 and the politarchs when they heardG191 these thingsG3778.

9And having takenG2983 security of JasonG2394 and the restG3062, they let them goG630.

10But the brethren immediatelyG2112 sent away, in the nightG3571, PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 to BereaG960; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453.

11And these wereG1510 more noble than those in ThessalonicaG2332, receiving the wordG3056 with all readinessG4288 of mind, daily searching the scripturesG1124 if these thingsG3778 wereG1510 soG3779.

12ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 from among them believedG4100, and of Grecian womenG1135 of the upper classes and menG435 not a fewG3641.

13But whenG5613 the JewsG2453 from ThessalonicaG2332 knewG1097 that the wordG3056 of 1GodG2316 was announced in BereaG960 alsoG2532 by PaulG3972, they cameG2064 there alsoG2532, stirring up the crowdsG3793.
