Acts 17:5-10

5 ¹But the Jews^{[a] 2}were 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, “These 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. ”

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.
