Deeds (Act) of Apostles 17:2-12

²And by custom Paul entered to them, and by three sabbaths he declared to them of the scriptures,

³and opened, and showed that it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise again from death, and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I tell to 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 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.

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,

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

⁸And they moved the people, and the princes of the city, hearing these things.

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

¹⁰And anon by night, brethren let Paul and Silas go into Berea or brethren sent Paul and Silas into 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 scrip-tures, if these things had them so.

¹²And many of them believed, and of heathen women honest or honest heathen women and men not a few.
