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

1 And having passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: 2 And according to custom to Paul, he went in to them, and upon three sabbaths discussed with them from the writings, 3 Opening and setting before, that it was necessary for Christ to suffer, and rise from, the dead; and that this is Christ Jesus, whom I announce to you. 4 And certain of them were persuaded, and were assigned by lot to Paul and Silas; and of worshipping Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the first women.

5 And the unbelieving Jews, having been jealous, and having taken certain evil men of the vulgar, and excited to tumult, they disturbed the city by loud noise, and having stood against the house of Jason, they sought to bring them to the populace. 6 And not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, That those having subverted the habitable globe, these also are present here; 7 Which Jason has received: and these all do opposite to Caesar's enactments, saying, There is another king, Jesus. 8 And they troubled the crowd and rulers of the city, having heard these. 9 And having taken sufficient of Jason, and the rest, they loosed them.
