Acts 17:1-9 - Attacked By A Mob In Thessalonica

¹ And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews. ² And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures, ³ opening and laying down that the Christ must have suffered and risen up from among the dead, and that this is the Christ, Jesus whom I announce to you. ⁴ And some of them believed, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the Greeks who worshipped, a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

⁵ But the Jews having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to themselves certain wicked men of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the city in confusion; and having beset the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people; ⁶ and not having found them, dragged Jason and certain brethren before the politarchs, crying out, These men that have set the world in tumult, are come here also, ⁷ whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus. ⁸ And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things. ⁹ And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.
