Acts 17:1-9 - Attacked By A Mob In Thessalonica
1 Now after passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 And according to Paul's custom, he went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he discoursed with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and pointing out that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and, This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ. 4 And some of them were persuaded, and joined with Paul and Silas, and of the devout Greeks a great quantity, and of the prominent women not a few.
5 But the disobedient Jews having taken along certain evil men of the marketplaces, and having gathered a mob, were rioting the city. And having stood by the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the populace. 6 And not having found them, they dragged Jason and some brothers to the city rulers, shouting, The men who have agitated the world, these are present here also, 7 whom Jason has received. And all these men are acting against the decrees of Caesar, asserting another man to be king, Jesus. 8 And they disturbed the multitude and the city rulers when they heard these things. 9 And after taking bond from Jason and the other men, they released them.
