## Acts 17:8-9 in Context (Verses 5–12 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/acts/17/5) ¶ 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.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/acts/17/6) 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;
 
 [7 ](/kjv/acts/17/7) Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king, *one* Jesus.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/acts/17/8) And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/acts/17/9) And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/acts/17/10) ¶ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming *thither* went into the synagogue of the Jews.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/acts/17/11) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/acts/17/12) Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
