Again, we have <strong>the</strong> experience of <strong>the</strong> apostles<br />

in <strong>the</strong> 17th chapter of Acts. “Paul, as his manner<br />

was, went in unto <strong>the</strong>m, and three Sabbath days<br />

reasoned with <strong>the</strong>m out of <strong>the</strong> Scriptures, opening<br />

and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered,<br />

and risen again from <strong>the</strong> dead; and that this Jesus,<br />

whom I preach unto you, is Christ. And some of<br />

<strong>the</strong>m believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas;<br />

and of <strong>the</strong> devout Greeks a great multitude, and of<br />

<strong>the</strong> chief women not a few. But <strong>the</strong> Jews, which<br />

believed not, moved with envy, took unto <strong>the</strong>m<br />

certain lewd fellows of <strong>the</strong> baser sort, and ga<strong>the</strong>red<br />

a company, and set all <strong>the</strong> city on an uproar, and<br />

assaulted <strong>the</strong> house of Jason, and sought to bring<br />

<strong>the</strong>m out to <strong>the</strong> people. And when <strong>the</strong>y found <strong>the</strong>m<br />

not, <strong>the</strong>y drew Jason, and certain brethren unto <strong>the</strong><br />

rulers of <strong>the</strong> city, crying, These that have turned <strong>the</strong><br />

world upside down are come hi<strong>the</strong>r also.” And<br />

<strong>the</strong>se men, that had <strong>the</strong>mselves put <strong>the</strong> whole town<br />

in an uproar, took <strong>the</strong>se noble men, and brought<br />

<strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong> magistrates, and said, “These men have<br />

turned <strong>the</strong> whole world upside down.”<br />
