*
Now when they had passed through Amphip '
olis and Apollo '
nia ,
they came to Thessaloni '
ca ,
where there was a synagogue of the Jews .
*
And Paul went in ,
as was his custom ,
and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures ,
*
explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead ,
and saying , "
This Jesus ,
whom I proclaim to you ,
is the Christ ."
*
And some of them were persuaded ,
and joined Paul and Silas ;
as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women .
*
But the Jews were jealous ,
and taking some wicked fellows of the rabble ,
they gathered a crowd ,
set the city in an uproar ,
and attacked the house of Jason ,
seeking to bring them out to the people .
*
And when they could not find them ,
they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities ,
crying , "
These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also ,
*
and Jason has received them ;
and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar ,
saying that there is another king ,
Jesus ."
*
And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard this .
*
And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest ,
they let them go .
