Acts 17:1-9 - Attacked By A Mob In Thessalonica
1 AND travelling through Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 And according to his custom Paul went in to them, and reasoned with them three sabbaths from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and asserting that the Christ ought to suffer and to rise from the dead; and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ. 4 And some of them believed and adhered to Paul and Silas; of the pious Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
5 But the unbelieving Jews taking certain base men of those about the markets, and exciting a mob, disturbed the city; and coming to the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people; 6 but not finding them, they dragged Jason and some brothers to the rulers of the city, crying, These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, 7 and Jason has received them; and they all do things contrary to the ordinances of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. 8 And they excited the multitude and the rulers of the city hearing these things, 9 and taking security of Jason and the rest they let them go.
