AC-17:1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and
Apollonia, they came
to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
AC-17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and
three sabbath days
reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
AC-17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have
suffered, and risen
again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you,
is Christ.
AC-17:4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and
Silas; and of
the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not
a few.
AC-17:5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took
unto them
certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company,
and set all the
city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought
to bring them
out to the people.
AC-17:6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and
certain brethren
unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the
world upside
down are come hither also;
AC-17:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to
the decrees of
Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.
AC-17:8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city,
when they
heard these things.
AC-17:9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the
other, they let
them go.
AC-17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas
by night unto
Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews.
AC-17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in
that they
received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures
daily, whether those things were so.
AC-17:12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable
women which were
Greeks, and of men, not a few.
AC-17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that
the word of God
was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and
stirred up the
people.
AC-17:14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go
as it were to
the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
AC-17:15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens:
and receiving a
commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all
speed, they
departed.
AC-17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit
was stirred in
him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
AC-17:17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews,
and with the
devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with
him.
AC-17:18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of
the Stoicks,
encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say?
other some, He
seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he
preached unto them
Jesus, and the resurrection.
AC-17:19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus,
saying, May we
know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, [is]?
AC-17:20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears:
we would know
