Acts 17:1
Paul and Silas at Thessalonica
17:1 After they traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Acts 17:6-12
17:6 When they did not find them, they dragged
Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials,
screaming, “These people who have stirred up trouble
throughout the world
have come here too,
17:7 and
Jason has welcomed them as guests! They
are all acting against Caesar’s
decrees, saying there is another king named
Jesus!”
17:8 They caused confusion among
the crowd and the city officials
who heard these things.
17:9 After
the city officials
had received bail
from Jason and the others, they released them.
Paul and Silas at Berea
17:10 The brothers sent Paul and Silas off to Berea at once, during the night. When they arrived, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
17:11 These Jews were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they eagerly received the message, examining the scriptures carefully every day to see if these things were so.
17:12 Therefore many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
