Acts 17:5-10

5 But ¹the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and attacking the house of ²Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people.

6 When they did not find them, they began ³dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, "These men who have upset ⁴the world have come here also;

7 and Jason ⁵has welcomed them, and they all act ⁶contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."

8 They stirred up the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things.

9 And when they had received a pledge from ⁷Jason and the others, they released them.

Paul at Berea

10 ⁸The brethren immediately sent ⁹Paul and Silas away by night to ¹⁰Berea, and when they arrived, they went into ¹¹the synagogue of the Jews.
