Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.

(8)And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they
heard these things. (9)And having taken security of Jason, and of the
others, they let them go.

(10)And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to
Beroea; 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, and searched the Scriptures
daily whether these things were so.

(12)Many of them therefore believed; and of honorable Grecian women
and men, not a few. (13)But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew that

(22)And Paul, standing in the midst of Mars' Hill, said: Men of
Athens, in all things I perceive that ye are very devout. (23)For as I
