Paul and Silas Preach in Thessalonica

1

And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews,

2

and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them, and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,

3

opening and alleging, `That the Christ it behoved to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that this is the Christ--Jesus whom I proclaim to you.'

4

And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few.

5

And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring them to the populace,

6

and not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the city rulers, calling aloud--`These, having put the world in commotion, are also here present,

7

whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king--Jesus.'

8

And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,

9

and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
