44:016:031 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou
shalt
be saved, and thy house.
44:016:032 And they spake unto him the word of the
Lord, and to all that
were
in his house.
44:016:033 And he took them the same hour of the night,
and washed their
stripes;
and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
44:016:034 And when he had brought them into his house,
he set meat
before
them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his
house.
44:016:035 And when it was day, the magistrates sent
the serjeants,
saying,
Let those men go.
44:016:036 And the keeper of the prison told this
saying to Paul, The
magistrates
have sent to let you go: now therefore depart,
and
go
in peace.
44:016:037 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten
us openly
uncondemned,
being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and
now
do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let
them
come
themselves and fetch us out.
44:016:038 And the serjeants told these words unto
the magistrates: and
they
feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
44:016:039 And they came and besought them, and brought
them out, and
desired
them to depart out of the city.
44:016:040 And they went out of the prison, and entered
into the house of
Lydia:
and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted
them,
and departed.
44:017:001 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis
and Apollonia,
they
came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the
Jews:
44:017:002 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto
them, and three
sabbath
days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
44:017:003 Opening and alleging, that Christ must
needs have suffered,
and
risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom
I
preach
unto you, is Christ.
44:017:004 And some of them believed, and consorted
with Paul and Silas;
and
of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the
chief
women
not a few.
44:017:005 But the Jews which believed not, moved
with envy, took unto
them
certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered
a
company,
and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the
house
of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
44:017:006 And when they found them not, they drew
Jason and certain
brethren
unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have
turned
the world upside down are come hither also;
44:017:007 Whom Jason hath received: and these
all do contrary to the
decrees
of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one
Jesus.
