Acts 17:2-9
New American Standard Bible
2 And (A)according to Paul’s custom, he [a]visited them, and for three (B)Sabbaths reasoned with them from (C)the Scriptures, 3 [b]explaining and [c]giving evidence that the [d]Christ (D)had to suffer and (E)rise from the dead, and saying, “(F)This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the [e]Christ.” 4 (G)And some of them were persuaded and joined (H)Paul and Silas, [f]along with a large number of the (I)God-fearing (J)Greeks and [g]a significant number of the (K)leading women. 5 But (L)the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the marketplace, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and they attacked the house of (M)Jason and were seeking to bring them out to the people. 6 When they did not find them, they began (N)dragging Jason and some brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have upset [h](O)the world have come here also; 7 [i]and Jason (P)has welcomed them, and they all act (Q)contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 8 They stirred up the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things. 9 And when they had received a [j]pledge from (R)Jason and the others, they released them.
