Acts 17

Paul and Silas get to Thessalonica. They entered the Jewish synagogue on the Sabbath and told the people about Jesus. A number of people believed. A number of jealous Jews cause a riot and rush the house of Jason in search of Paul and Silas. It's not until Jason and the others pay money that they are left alone.

Paul and Silas are sent to Berea, reasoning with the Jews in the synagogue about Jesus from the scriptures. These Jews actually searched the Scriptures with eagerness to see if what Paul said was true. Because of this, many of them believed. However, some Jews from Thessalonica came to cause trouble for Paul, so Paul was sent to Athens. Timothy and Silas stayed in Berea.

There were a great number of idols in Athens. Some were interested in what Paul had to say, so they arranged for a number of them to hear from Paul. Paul tells them about Jesus, making reference to the fact that one of the idols they have are to "an unknown god". Some believe and some do not.
