Acts 17:5-9 ▼

5 But the Jews became jealous, and gathering together some worthless men from the rabble in the marketplace, they formed a mob and set the city in an uproar. They attacked Jason's house, trying to find Paul and Silas to bring them out to the assembly.

6 When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials, screaming, |These people who have stirred up trouble throughout the world have come here too,

7 and Jason has welcomed them as guests! They are all acting against Caesar's decrees, saying there is another king named Jesus!|

8 They caused confusion among the crowd and the city officials who heard these things.

9 After the city officials had received bail from Jason and the others, they released them.
