Acts 17:1-15 : American Standard Version

1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: 2and Paul, as his custom was, went in unto them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, said he, I proclaim unto you, is the Christ. 4And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas, and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. 5But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them forth to the people. 6And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; 7whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. 8And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. 9And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10And the brethren immediately
sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were
come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11Now
these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the
Scriptures daily, whether these things were so. 12Many
of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable
estate, and of men, not a few. 13But when the Jews of
Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of
Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and
troubling the multitudes. 14And then immediately the
brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and
Timothy abode there still. 15But they that conducted
Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto
Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they
departed.
