Uproar in Thessalonica
1 AND when they had walked through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Synagogue of the Jews.
2 And Paul according to his custom entered in unto them, & three Sabboths he discoursed to them out of the Scriptures,
3 declaring and insinuating that it behoved CHRIST to suffer and to rise again from the dead: & that this is JESUS CHRIST, whom I preach to you.
4 And certain of them believed, and were joined to Paul and Silas, and of the Gentiles that served God a great multitude, and noble women not a few.
5 But the Jews envying, & taking unto them of the rascal sort, certain naughty men, and making a tumult, stirred the city: and besetting Jason's house, sought to bring them forth unto the people.
6 And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the princes of the city, crying, That these are they that stir up the world, and are come hither,
7 whom Jason hath received, and all these do against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another King, JESUS.
8 And they moved the people, and the princes of the city hearing these things.
9 And taking a satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they dismissed them.
Character of the Bereans
10 But the brethren forthwith by night sent away Paul and Silas unto Beroea. Who when they were come, entered into the Synagogue of the Jews.
11 (And these were more noble than they that are at Thessalonica, who received the word with all greediness, daily searching the scriptures, if these things were so.
12 And many surely of them believed, and of honest women Gentiles, and men not a few.)
13 And when the Jews in Thessalonica understood, that at Beroea also the word of God was preached by Paul, they came thither also, moving and troubling the multitude.
