Exegesis
The subject is specified as hoi apo tes Thessalonikes Ioudaioi {οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς Θεσσαλονίκης Ἰουδαῖοι | hoi apò tēs Thessaloníkēs Ioudaîoi} ‘the Jews from Thessalonica’, where the prepositional phrase apo tes Thessalonikes modifies the head noun Ioudaioi to indicate their place of origin and link them to the earlier opposition in that city.
In context — Acts 17:13
But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God had also been proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came there as well, agitating and troubling the crowds .
