Acts:17:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia ,
they came to Thessalonica ,
where there was a synagogue of the Jews .
*
Then Paul ,
as his custom was ,
went in to them ,
and for three Sabbaths 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 preach to you is the Christ ."
*
And some of them were persuaded ;
and a great multitude of the devout Greeks ,
and not a few of the leading women ,
joined Paul and Silas .
*
But the Jews who were not persuaded ,
becoming envious ,
took some of the evil men from the marketplace ,
and gathering a mob ,
set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason ,
and sought to bring them out to the people .
*
But when they did not find them ,
they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city ,
crying out , "
These who have turned the world upside down have come here too .
*
Jason has harbored them ,
and these are all acting 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 .
*
So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest ,
they let them go .
