Acts 17:3-5

International Standard Version

³ He explained and showed them that the Messiah^[a] had to suffer and rise from the dead: “This very Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Messiah.”^[b]

⁴ Some of them were persuaded and began to be associated with Paul and Silas, especially a large crowd of devout Greeks and the wives of many prominent men. ⁵ But the Jewish leaders^[c] became jealous, and they took some contemptible characters who used to hang out in the public square,^[d] formed a mob, and started a riot in the city. They attacked Jason’s home and searched it for Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the people.
