New Testament

Acts 17:6-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.

7. Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.”

8. And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things.

9. So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

10. Then the brethren 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 fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

12. Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
