Acts 17:5 in Context — Acts 17

3 Declarando [-as] ,e propondo [-lhes] ,que era necessário que o Cristo morresse, e ressuscitasse dos mortos; e que ( [dizia ele] ) este Jesus é o Cristo, a quem eu vos anuncio.

4 E alguns deles creram, e se ajuntaram a Paulo e Silas; e dos gregos devotos grande multidão; e não poucas das mulheres principais.

5 Mas os judeus incrédulos, movidos de inveja, tomaram consigo alguns homens malignos dos mercados, e juntando uma multidão, tumultuaram a cidade; e atacando a casa de Jasão, procuravam trazê-los ao povo.

6 E não os achando, puxaram a Jasão, e a alguns irmãos às maiores autoridades da cidade, clamando: Estes que tem perturbado ao mundo também vieram até aqui.

7 Aos quais Jasão tem recolhido, e todos estes fazem contra as ordens de César, dizendo que há outro rei, [chamado] Jesus.
