4And some of them were persuaded, 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, being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them forth to the people.
6And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
7whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
9And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
12Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honourable estate, and of men, not a few.
13But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.
14And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still.
15But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him, as he beheld the city full of idols.
17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with them that met with him.
