17:1 保羅和西拉經過暗妃坡里、亞波羅尼亞，來到帖撒羅尼迦，在那裡有猶太人的會堂。
17:2 保羅照他素常的規矩進去，一連三個安息日，本著聖經與他們辯論，
17:3 講解陳明基督必須受害，從死裡復活；又說：「我所傳與你們的這位耶穌就是基督。」
17:4 他們中間有些人聽了勸，就附從保羅和西拉，並有許多虔敬的希臘人，尊貴的婦女也不少。
17:5 但那不信的猶太人心裡嫉妒，招聚了些市井匪類，搭夥成群，聳動合城的人闖進耶孫的家，要將保羅、西拉帶到百姓那裡。
17:6 找不著他們，就把耶孫和幾個弟兄拉到地方官那裡，喊叫說：「那攪亂天下的也到這裡來了，
17:7 耶孫收留他們。這些人都違背凱撒的命令，說另有一個王耶穌。」
17:8 眾人和地方官聽見這話，就驚慌了；
17:9 於是取了耶孫和其餘之人的保狀，就釋放了他們。
When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,” he said. 4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.
5 But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, 7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.” 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9 Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go.

保羅和西拉到帖撒羅尼迦，剛好有猶太會堂，保羅照他素常的規矩進去，一連三個安息日，本著聖經與他們辯論，講解陳明基督必須受害，從死裡復活；又說：「我所傳與你們的這位耶穌就是基督。」
而這樣的福音，在聖靈的感動下，他們中間有些人聽了勸，就附從保羅和西拉，並有許多虔敬的希臘人，尊貴的婦女也不少。
然而上帝工作，撒但也工作！那不信的猶太人心裡嫉妒，招聚了些市井匪類，搭夥成群，聳動合城的人闖進耶孫的家，要將保羅、西拉帶到百姓那裡。也因為這樣連累到接待保羅的耶孫和幾個弟兄。
然而我們相信福音是上帝的大能，就不要擔心與害怕魔鬼的作為，因為上帝必保守我們的，要靠主剛強！
