General Information:

Here the word "they" refers to Paul and Silas. Compare Acts 16:40. The word "them" refers to the Jews at the synagogue in Thessalonica.

Connecting Statement:

This continues the story of Paul, Silas, and Timothy's missionary trip. They arrive in Thessalonica, apparently without Luke, since he says "they" and not "we."
