It is written Jews killed Jesus and the Prophets
1 Thessalonians 2
English Standard Version (ESV)
Paul's Ministry to the Thessalonians
For you yourselves know, brothers,[a]*that our*coming to you*was not in vain.*But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated*at Philippi, as you know,*we had boldness in our God*to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much*conflict.*For*our appeal does not spring from*error or*impurity or*any attempt to deceive,*but just as we have been approved by God*to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not*to please man, but to please Godwho tests our hearts.*For we never came with words of flattery,
*as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness.*Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others,*though we could have made*demands as*apostles of Christ.*But we were*gentle[c]among you,*like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.*So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God*but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.
For you remember, brothers,*our labor and toil: we*worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.*You are witnesses, and*God also,*how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers.For you know how,*like a father with his children,*we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and*charged*you to walk in a manner worthy of God,*who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
And*we also thank God constantly[d]*for this, that when you receivedthe word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it*not as the word of men[e]*but as what it really is, the word of God,*which is at work in you believers.*For you, brothers,*became imitators of*the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For*you suffered the same things from your own countrymen*as they did from the Jews,[f]*who killed both the Lord Jesus and*the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and*oppose all mankind*by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always*to fill up the measure of their sins. But*wrath has come upon them at last![g]
