Acts:17:1-9

*
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia ,
they came to Thessalonica ,
where was a synagogue of the Jews :
*
and Paul ,
as his custom was ,
went in to them ,
and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures ,
*
opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ to suffer ,
and to rise again from the dead ;
and that Jesus ,
whom I proclaim to you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
is the Christ .
*
And some of them were persuaded ,
and consorted with Paul and Silas ,
and of the devout Greeks a great multitude ,
and of the chief women not a few .
*
But the Jews ,
being moved with jealousy ,
took to them certain vile men of the rabble ,
and gathering a crowd ,
set the city on an uproar ;
and assaulting the house of Jason ,
they sought to bring them forth to the people .
*
And when they didn '
t find them ,
they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city ,
crying out ,
These who have turned the world upside down have come here also ;
*
whom Jason has received :
and ,
contrary to the decrees of Caesar ,
these all take part in another king who they are saying to be Jesus .
*
And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city ,
when they heard these things .
*
And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest ,
they let them go .
