1 Paul and Silas traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia and came to Thessalonica where there was a synagogue.
2 Paul went into the synagogue as he always did, and on each Sabbath day for three weeks, he talked with his fellow Jews about the Scriptures.
3 He explained and proved that the Christ must die and then rise from the dead. He said, “This Jesus I am telling you about is the Christ.”
4 Some of them were convinced and joined Paul and Silas, along with many of the Greeks who worshiped God and many of the important women.
5 But some others became jealous. So they got some evil men from the marketplace, formed a mob, and started a riot. They ran to Jason’s house, looking for Paul and Silas, wanting to bring them out to the people.
