NOW WHEN THEY HAD PASSED THROUGH AMPHIPOLIS
AND APOLLONIA, THEY CAME TO THESSALONICA,
WHERE THERE WAS A SYNAGOGUE OF THE JEWS. 2
AND PAUL WENT IN, AS WAS HIS CUSTOM, AND ON
THREE SABBATH DAYS HE REASONED WITH THEM
FROM THE SCRIPTURES, 3 EXPLAINING AND PROVING
THAT IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE CHRIST TO SUFFER
AND TO RISE FROM THE DEAD, AND SAYING, “THIS
JESUS, WHOM I PROCLAIM TO YOU, IS THE CHRIST.”
