Acts 17:2-14

²and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them, and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,

³opening and alleging, 'That the Christ it behoved to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that this is the Christ — Jesus whom I proclaim to you.'

⁴And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few.

⁵And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring them to the populace,

⁶and not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the city rulers, calling aloud — 'These, having put the world in commotion, are also here present,

⁷whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king — Jesus.'

⁸And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,

⁹and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

¹⁰And the brethren immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went to the synagogue of the Jews;

¹¹and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so;

¹²many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few.

¹³And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came thither also, agitating the multitudes;

¹⁴and then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timothy were remaining there.
