Acts 17:5-19

⁵But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacion toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.

⁶But when they founde them not they drue Iason and certayne brethren vnto the heedes of the cite cryinge: these that trouble the worlde are come hydder also

⁷which Iason hath receaved prevely. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar affirmynge another kynge one Iesus.

⁸And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.

⁹And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.

¹⁰And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyght vnto Berrea. Which when they were come thyther they entred into the synagoge of the Iewes.

¹¹These were the noblest of byrthe amonge the of Thessalonia which receaved the worde with all diligence of mynde and searched the scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so.

¹²And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not afeawe.

¹³When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that the worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.

¹⁴And then by and by the brethren sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to ye see: but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still.

¹⁵And they that gyded Paul brought him vnto Attens and receaved a commaundment vnto Sylas and Timotheus for to come to him at once and came their waye.

¹⁶Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.

¹⁷Then he disputed in the synagoge with the Iewes and with the devout persones and in the market dayly with the that came vnto him.

¹⁸Certayne philosophers of the Epicures and of the stoyckes disputed with him. And some ther were which sayde: what will this babler saye. Other sayd: he semeth to be a tydynges bringer of newe devyls because he preached vnto them Iesus and the resurreccion.

¹⁹And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
