# General Information:
Here the word "they" refers to Paul and Silas. Compare [Acts 16:40](../16/40.md). The word "them" refers to the Jews at the synagogue in Thessalonica.
# Now
This word is used here to mark a break in the main storyline. Here Luke, the author, starts to tell a new part of the story.
