Notes

Acts 17:5–7

Once again, the opponents of the Christian faith regarded it as a disruption and a threat (compare 16:19–21). Ironically, they formed a mob and then accused Paul and Silas of causing trouble by disturbing the peace and defying Caesar. These were serious charges that threatened the stability of the Roman Empire (compare Luke 23:2).

Acts 17:1–9

After traveling through Macedonia to Thessalonica, Paul first preached to the Jews in the synagogue (Romans 1:16). As in other places, there was a mixed response.
