Acts 17:5-9
New King James Version
Assault on Jason’s House
5 But the Jews [a]who were not persuaded, [b]becoming (A)envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of (B)Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, (C)“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has [c]harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, (D)saying there is another king—Jesus.” 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

Acts 17:5-9
New International Version
5 But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city.(A) They rushed to Jason’s(B) house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged(C) Jason and some other believers(D) before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world(E) have now come here,(F) 7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.”(G) 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9 Then they made Jason(H) and the others post bond and let them go.
