* Now traveling through Amphipolis and Apollonia , they came to Thessalonica , where there was a synagogue of the Jews . * And according to Paul 's custom , he went in to them , and for three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures , * interpreting and pointing out that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer , and to arise from the dead , and [saying ]that "This is the Christ , Jesus , whom I proclaim to you ." * And some of them were persuaded and were joined with Paul and Silas , both of the devout Greeks , a great multitude , and not a few of the chief women . * And the Jews who did not believe [ ]took some wicked men from the marketplace , and forming a mob , [they ]threw the city into disorder , and came upon the house of Jason , and sought to bring them to the people . * But when they did not find them , they dragged Jason and some brothers to the rulers of the city , crying out , "The men who have upset the whole world , these have come here , too ; * whom Jason has received ; and these all practice contrary to the decrees of Caesar , saying there is another king-Jesus ." * And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things . * And having taken the security bond from Jason and the rest , they released them .
