* Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia , they came to Thessalonica , where there was a Jewish synagogue . * Paul , as was his custom , went in to them , and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures , * explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead , and saying , "This Jesus , whom I proclaim to you , is the Christ ." * Some of them were persuaded , and joined Paul and Silas , of the devout Greeks a great multitude , and not a few of the chief women . * But the unpersuaded Jews took along {TR reads "And the Jews who were unpersuaded , becoming envious and taking along " instead of "But the unpersuaded Jews took along "} some wicked men from the marketplace , and gathering a crowd , set the city in an uproar . Assaulting the house of Jason , they sought to bring them out to the people . * When they didn 't find them , they dragged Jason and certain brothers {The word for "brothers " here and where the context allows may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters " or "siblings ."} before the rulers of the city , crying , "These who have turned the world upside down have come here also , * whom Jason has received . These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar , saying that there is another king , Jesus !" * The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things . * When they had taken security from Jason and the rest , they let them go .
