Acts 17:1-9
Paul at Thessalonica
1 Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to (A)Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 And (B)according to Paul’s custom, he went to them, and for three (C)Sabbaths reasoned with them from (D)the Scriptures,
3 (a)explaining and (b)giving evidence that the (c)Christ (E)had to suffer and (F)rise again from the dead, and saying, “(G)This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the (d)Christ.”
4 (H)And some of them were persuaded and joined (I)Paul and Silas, (e)along with a large number of the (J)God-fearing (K)Greeks and (f)a number of the (L)leading women.
5 But (M)the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and attacking the house of (N)Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people.
6 When they did not find them, they began (O)dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have upset (g)(P)the world have come here also;
7 (h)and Jason (Q)has welcomed them, and they all act (R)contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.”
8 They stirred up the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things.
9 And when they had received a (i)pledge from (S)Jason and the others, they released them.
