Old Testament

New Testament

Acts 17:5-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. But the Jews who did not believe became jealous and, taking some evil men from the marketplace, gathered a crowd, stirred up the city, and attacked the house of Jason, trying to bring them out to the mob.

6. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brothers to the city officials, crying out, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

7. and Jason has received them. They are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.”

8. They troubled the crowd and the city officials when they heard these things.

9. When they had taken a bail payment from Jason and the rest, they released them.

10. The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

11. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all eagerness, daily examining the Scriptures, to find out if these things were so.

12. Therefore many of them believed, including honorable Greek women and many Greek men.
