Acts 17:4-12

⁴Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a large number of devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women.

⁵But the unbelieving Jews, being moved with jealousy, took certain wicked men from the marketplace, gathered a crowd together, and set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they wanted to bring Paul and Silas out to the people.

⁶But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain other brothers before the officials of the city, crying, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also.

⁷These men whom Jason has welcomed act against the decrees of Caesar; they say that there is another king—Jesus.”

⁸The crowd and the officials of the city were disturbed when they heard these things.

⁹But after the officials made Jason and the rest pay money as security, then they let them go.

¹⁰That night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹Now these people were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

¹²Therefore many of them believed, including some influential Greek women and many men.
