Acts 17:5-13 ▼

5 But the Iewes whiche beleued not, moued with enuie, toke vnto them certaine vagaboundes and euyll men, and gathered a companie, and set all the citie on a rore, and made assault vnto the house of Iason, & sought to bryng them out to the people.

6 And when they founde them not, they drewe Iason and certaine brethren vnto the heades of the citie, crying: these that trouble the world, are come hyther also,

7 Whom Iason hath receaued priuily. And these al do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another kyng one Iesus.

8 And they troubled the people, and the officers of the citie, when they hearde these thynges.

9 And when they were sufficiently aunswered of Iason, and of the other, they let them go.

10 And the brethren immediatlye sent away Paul & Silas by nyght, vnto Berea: Which when they were come thyther, they entred into the synagogue of the Iewes.

11 These were the noblest of birth among them of Thessalonica, which receaued the worde with all redynesse of mynde, and searched the scriptures dayly, whether those thynges were so.

12 Therfore many of them beleued. Also of honest women which were Grekes, and of men not a fewe.

13 But when the Iewes of Thessalonica had knowledge that ye worde of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thyther and moued the people.
