1NowG1161 when they had traveledG1353 throughG1353 AmphipolisG295 and ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 to 1ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 there was a synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453. 2And 2accordingG2596 to Paul’sG3972 customG1486, he wentG1525 to them, and for threeG5140 3SabbathsG4521 reasonedG1256 with them from 4the ScripturesG1124, 35explainingG1272 and 6givingG3908 evidenceG3908 that the 7ChristG5547 8hadG1163 to sufferG3958 and 9riseG450 againG450 from the deadG3498, and saying, “10ThisG3778 JesusG2424 whomG3739 I am proclaimingG2605 to you is the 11ChristG5547.” 412And someG5100 of them were persuadedG3982 and joinedG4345 13PaulG3972 and SilasG4609, 14alongG5037 with a largeG4183 numberG3756 of the 15God-fearingG4576 16GreeksG1672 and 17a numberG3756G3641 of the 18leadingG4413 womenG1135. 5But 19the JewsG2453, becomingG2206 jealousG2206 and takingG4355 alongG4355 someG5100 wickedG4190 menG435 from the marketG60 placeG60, formedG3792 a mobG3792 and setG2350 the cityG4172 in an uproarG2350; and attackingG2186 the houseG3614 of 20JasonG2394, they were seekingG2212 to bringG4254 them out to the peopleG1218. 6When they did not findG2147 them, they began 21draggingG4951 JasonG2394 and someG5100 brethrenG80 beforeG1909 the cityG4173 authoritiesG4173, shoutingG994, “TheseG3778 menG3778 who have upsetG387 2223the worldG3625 have comeG3918 hereG1759 alsoG2532; 724and JasonG2394 25has welcomedG5264 them, and they allG3956 actG4238 26contraryG561 to the decreesG1378 of CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that there is anotherG2087 kingG935, JesusG2424.” 8They stirredG5015 up the crowdG3793 and the cityG4173 authoritiesG4173 who heardG191 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 9And when they had receivedG2983 a 27pledgeG2425 from 28JasonG2394 and the othersG3062, they releasedG630 them.
1029The brethrenG80 immediatelyG2112 sentG1599 30PaulG3972 and SilasG4609 awayG1599 by nightG3571 to 31BereaG960, 32and when they arrivedG3854, they wentG549 into 33the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453. 11NowG1161 theseG3778 were moreG2104 noble-mindedG2104 than thoseG3588 in 34ThessalonicaG2332, 35for they receivedG1209 the wordG3056 with 36greatG3956 eagernessG4288, examiningG350 the ScripturesG1124 dailyG2596G2250 to see whetherG1487 theseG3778 thingsG3778 were soG3779. 12ThereforeG3767 37manyG4183 of them believedG4100, 38alongG2532 with a numberG3756G3641 of 39prominentG2158 GreekG1674 40womenG1135 and menG435. 13But whenG5613 the JewsG2453 of 41ThessalonicaG2332 foundG1097 out that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 had been proclaimedG2605 by PaulG3972 in 42BereaG960 alsoG2532, they cameG2064 thereG2546 as wellG2546, agitatingG4531 and stirringG5015 up the crowdsG3793. 14ThenG5119 immediatelyG2112 43the brethrenG80 sentG1821 PaulG3972 out to goG4198 as farG2193 as the seaG2281; and 44SilasG4609 and 45TimothyG5095 remainedG5278 thereG1563. 15NowG1161 46thoseG3588 who escortedG2525 PaulG3972 broughtG71 him as farG2193 as 47AthensG116; and receivingG2983 a commandG1785 for 48SilasG4609 and TimothyG5095 to 49comeG2064 to him as soonG5036 as possibleG5035, they leftG1826.
