5
But the disobedient Jews, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort and gathered a company and set all the city on an uproar and assaulted the house of Jason and sought to bring them out to the people.
6
And when they did not find them, they brought Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down have come here also,
7
whom Jason has received, and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king,
one Jesus.
8
And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city when they heard these things.
9
And when they had taken security of Jason and of the others, they let them go.
10
And the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night unto Berea, who when they got
there went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all diligence and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12
Therefore many of them believed, also of honourable women who were Greeks and of men, not a few.
13
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the people.
14
And then immediately the brethren sent Paul to go away towards the sea, but Silas and Timothy abode there still.
15
And those that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens; and receiving an order from him unto Silas and Timothy to come unto him as soon as possible, they departed.
