Acts 17:2-12

²And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

³Opening and alledging, that it was needful that Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is Christ.

⁴And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas: and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

⁵But the Jews who believed not, moved with envy, took to them certain vile fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city in an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

⁶And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down, have come hither also;

⁷Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, That there is another king, one Jesus.

⁸And they troubled the people, and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.

⁹And when they had taken security of Jason and of the other, they let them go.

¹⁰And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming thither , went into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

¹²Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable women who were Greeks, and of men not a few.
