Read Acts 17 in full →Paul and Silas in Thessalonica
17Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to aThessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2And aaccording to Paul’s custom, he went to them, and for three bSabbaths reasoned with them from cthe Scriptures, 31explaining and setting before them that the 2Christ ahad to suffer and brise again from the dead, and saying, “cThis Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is that 3Christ.” 4aAnd some of them were persuaded and joined bPaul and Silas, 1along with a great multitude of the cGod-fearing dGreeks and not a few of the eleading women. 5But athe Jews, becoming jealous, taking along some wicked men from the marketplace, and forming a mob, set the city in an uproar. And attacking the house of bJason, they were seeking to bring them out to the assembly. 6And when they did not find them, they began adragging Jason and some brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have upset 1,bthe world have come here also; 71and Jason ahas welcomed them, and they all act bcontrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 8And they disturbed the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things. 9And when they had received the bond from aJason and the others, they released them.
