Acts 17:5-13 ▼

5 And the unbelieving Jews, having been jealous, and having taken certain evil men of the vulgar, and excited to tumult, they disturbed the city by loud noise, and having stood against the house of Jason, they sought to bring them to the populace.

6 And not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, That those having subverted the habitable globe, these also are present here;

7 Which Jason has received: and these all do opposite to Caesar's enactments, saying, There is another king, Jesus.

8 And they troubled the crowd and rulers of the city, having heard these.

9 And having taken sufficient of Jason, and the rest, they loosed them.

10 And the brethren quickly sent out both Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who arriving went away to the synagogue of the Jews.

11 And they were of more noble birth than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all willingness, and examined the writings daily, if these things might hold thus.

12 Therefore truly many of them believed; and of the distinguished Grecian women, and of men, not few.

13 And when the Jews from Thessalonica heard that also in Berea the word of God was announced by Paul, they came there also, agitating the crowd.
