Acts 17:5-12

⁵But the Jews having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to themselves certain wicked men of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the city in confusion; and having beset the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people;

⁶and not having found them, dragged Jason and certain brethren before the politarchs, crying out, These men that have set the world in tumult, are come here also,

⁷whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.

⁸And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.

⁹And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.

¹⁰But the brethren immediately sent away, in the night, Paul and Silas to Berea; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, daily searching the scriptures if these things were so.

¹²Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.
