Acts 17:5-10 ▼

5 But the Jewish leaders became jealous, and they took some contemptible characters who used to hang out in the public square, formed a mob, and started a riot in the city. They attacked Jason's home and searched it for Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the people.

6 When they didn't find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials and shouted, |These fellows who have turned the world upside down have come here, too,

7 and Jason has welcomed them as his guests. All of them oppose the emperor's decrees by saying that there is another king—Jesus!|

8 The crowd and the city officials were upset when they heard this,

9 but after they had gotten a bond from Jason and the others, they let them go.

10 That night the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
