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

¹ As they made their journey through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica where was a synagogue of the Jews. ² And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them: and three Sabbath days declared out of the scripture unto them, ³ opening and alleging that Christ must needs have suffered and risen again from death. And that this Jesus was Christ, whom, said he, "I preach to you." ⁴ And some of them believed and came and companied with Paul and Silas. Also of the honorable Greeks, a great multitude; and of the chief women, not a few.

⁵ But the Jews which believed not, having indignation, took unto them evil men which were vagabonds, and gathered a company, and set all the city on a roar, and made assault unto the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. ⁶ But when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the heads of the city crying, "These that trouble the world are come hither also, ⁷ which Jason hath received privily. And these all do contrary to the elders of Caesar, affirming another King: one Jesus." ⁸ And they troubled the people and the officers of the city when they heard these things. ⁹ And when they were sufficiently answered of Jason, and of the others they let them go.
