2 and we sent ^aTimothy, our brother and God’s fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith, 3 so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions, for you yourselves know that ^awe have been destined for this. 4 For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction, ^ajust as it happened and as you know. 5 For this reason, ^awhen I could endure it no longer, I also ^bsent to know about your faith, lest somehow ^cthe tempter has tempted you, and ^dour labor be in vain.

And attacking the house of ^bJason, they were seeking to bring them out to the assembly. 6 And when they did not find them, they began ^adragging Jason and some brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have upset ¹^bthe world have come here also; 7 ¹and Jason ^ahas welcomed them, and they all act ^bcontrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 8 And they disturbed the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things. 9 And when they had received the bond from ^aJason and the others, they released them.
