6
And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, crying, "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
7
and Jason has received them; and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."
8
And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard this.
9
And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10
The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroe'a; and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11
Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessaloni'ca, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
12
Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men.
13
But when the Jews of Thessaloni'ca learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroe'a also, they came there too, stirring up and inciting the crowds.
14
Then the brethren immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15
Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
16
Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.
