Hechos 17:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 17:6

And when they found them not
In Jason's house, as they expected:

they drew Jason, and certain brethren:
the Syriac version adds, "who were there": in Jason's house, who either came along with the apostle, and lodged with him there; or they were some of the inhabitants of Thessalonica, who were lately converted, and were come thither in order to have some Christian conversation; these with Jason the rabble seized on, and in a rude and violent manner dragged them out of the house, and had them,

unto the rulers of the city:
the civil magistrates, the judges in courts of judicature, to which some of these belonged;

crying
in a very noisy and clamorous way;

these that have turned the world upside down:
the Syriac version reads, "the whole earth": the apostles, according to the cry of these men, had thrown the whole world into disorder, and had made disturbances in kingdoms and cities, wherever they came; and had made innovations in religion, and turned men from their old way of worship to another; these; say they,

are come hither also;
to make the like disorders and disturbances, as elsewhere.

Hechos 17:6 In-Context

4 Algunos de ellos creyeron, y se unieron a Pablo y a Silas, juntamente con una gran multitud de griegos temerosos de Dios y muchas de las mujeres principales.

5 Pero los judíos, llenos de envidia, llevaron algunos hombres malvados de la plaza pública, organizaron una turba y alborotaron la ciudad; y asaltando la casa de Jasón, procuraban sacarlos al pueblo.

6 Al no encontrarlos, arrastraron a Jasón y a algunos de los hermanos ante las autoridades de la ciudad, gritando: Esos que han trastornado al mundo han venido acá también;

7 y Jasón los ha recibido, y todos ellos actúan contra los decretos del César, diciendo que hay otro rey, Jesús.

8 Y alborotaron a la multitud y a las autoridades de la ciudad que oían esto.
