Acts 17:3-11

31explaining and 2giving evidence that the 3Christ 4had to suffer and 5rise again from the dead, and saying, “6This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the 7Christ.” 48And some of them were persuaded and joined 9Paul and Silas, 10along with a large number of the 11God-fearing 12Greeks and 13a number of the 14leading women. 5But 15the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and attacking the house of 16Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people. 6When they did not find them, they began 17dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have upset 1819the world have come here also; 720and Jason 21has welcomed them, and they all act 22contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 8They stirred up the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things. 9And when they had received a 23pledge from 24Jason and the others, they released them.

1025The brethren immediately sent 26Paul and Silas away by night to 27Berea, 28and when they arrived, they went into 29the synagogue of the Jews. 11Now these were more noble-minded than those in 30Thessalonica, 31for they received the word with 32great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
