Deeds (Act) of Apostles 17:1-15

¹And when they had passed by Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of (the) Jews.

²And by custom Paul entered to them, and by three sabbaths he declared to them of the scriptures, (And as was his custom, Paul went to them, and on three Sabbaths he declared the Scriptures to them,)

³and opened, and showed that it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise again from death, or to suffer, and rise again from (the) dead, and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I tell to you. (and expounded upon them, and showed that it behooved the Messiah to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, and that this is Jesus Christ, about whom I tell you.)

⁴And some of them believed, and were joined to Paul and to Silas; and a great multitude of heathen men worshipped God, and noble women not a few.

⁵But the Jews had envy, and took of (or from) the common people some evil men, and when they had made a company, they moved the city. And they came to Jason’s house, and sought to bring them forth among the people (or out to the people).

⁶And when they found them not, they drew Jason and some brethren to the princes of the city, and cried, That these it be, that moved the world, and hither they came, (And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers to the leaders of the city, and cried, These it be, who stirred up the world, and now they have come here,)

⁷whom Jason received. And these all do against the commandments of the emperor or against the commandments of Caesar, and say, that Jesus is another king.

⁸And they moved the people, and the princes of the city, hearing these things. (And they stirred up the people, and the leaders of the city, when they heard these things.)

⁹And when satisfaction was taken of Jason, and of others, they let Paul and Silas go.

¹⁰And anon by night, (the) brethren let Paul and Silas go into Berea, or (the) brethren sent Paul and Silas into Berea, (or And at once in the night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea). And when they came thither, they entered into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹But these were the worthier or the nobler of them that be at Thessalonica, which received the word with all desire, each day seeking the scriptures, if these things had them so.

¹²And many of them believed, and of heathen women honest and men not a few (or and more than a few honourable heathen men and women). And soothly many of them believed, and of honest heathen women and men not (a) few.

¹³But when the Jews in Thessalonica had known, that also at Berea the word of God was preached of Paul (or that also at Berea the word of God was preached by Paul), they came thither, moving and disturbing or distroubling the multitude.

¹⁴And then anon (the) brethren delivered or dismissed Paul, that he should go to the sea; but Silas and Timothy dwelt there. (And then at once the brothers sent off Paul, so that he could go down to the seacoast; but Silas and Timothy remained there.)

¹⁵And they that led forth Paul, led him to Athens. And when they had taken a commandment of him to Silas and Timothy (or And when they had received an order from him for Silas and Timothy), that full hieingly they should come to him, they went forth.
