#5 Paul and his party journeyed westward, traveling around 30 miles per day along the Egnatian Way through Amphipolis and Apollonia. They finally arrived at Thessalonica (the modern Salonika) and Paul entered the synagogue and preached Jesus and many devout Greeks and leading women believed, but the Jewish leaders did not and gathered a mob and looked for them at the house of Jason:

Acts 17:6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.

The city authorities compelled his friends to provide bail to guarantee his good behavior, and Paul, rather than endanger his supporters, withdrew from the city.

(See Acts 17:1-9)
