5. But the Jews who believed not, moved with envy, took to them certain vile fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city in an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
6. And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down, have come hither also;
7. Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, 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 other, they let them go.
10. And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12. Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable 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 thither also, and stirred up the people.
14. And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy abode there still.
15. And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
16. Now, while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
17. Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
