Acts 17:5-10

Listen to Acts 17:5-10
5 1But the Jews[a] 2were jealous, and taking 3some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the crowd.
6 And when they could not find them, 4they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, ā€œThese men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
7 and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against 5the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is 6another king, Jesus. ā€
8 And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard these things.
9 And when they had taken money as security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
