*/Acts 17:1/**/ through Acts 17:12 (NRSV) \\ /*1After Paul and Silas had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days argued with them from the scriptures, 3explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This is the Messiah, Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you.” 4Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.
5But the Jews became jealous, and with the help of some ruffians in the marketplaces they formed a mob and set the city in an uproar.
While they were searching for Paul and Silas to bring them out to the assembly, they attacked Jason’s house.
6When they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some believers before the city authorities, shouting, “These people who have been turning the world upside down have come here also, 7and Jason has entertained them as guests.
They are all acting contrary to the decrees of the emperor, saying that there is another king named Jesus.”
8The people and the city officials were disturbed when they heard this, 9and after they had taken bail from Jason and the others, they let them go.
10That very night the believers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and when they arrived, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
11These Jews were more receptive than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the message very eagerly and examined the scriptures every day to see whether these things were so.
12Many of them therefore believed, including not a few Greek women and men of high standing.
