6
And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar are come hither also:
7
Whom Jason hath received. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
8
And they stirred up the people: and the rulers of the city, hearing these things,
9
And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
10
But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
12
And many indeed of them believed: and of honourable women that were Gentiles and of men, not a few.
13
And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
14
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea: but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15
And they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
16
Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
