Acts 17:2-9

Moffatt(i) 2 and Paul as usual went in; for three sabbaths he argued with them on the scriptures, 3 explaining and quoting passages to prove that the messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead, and that "the Jesus I proclaim to you is the messiah." 4 Some were persuaded and threw in their lot with Paul and Silas, including a host of devout Greeks and a large number of the leading women. 5 But the Jews were aroused to jealousy; they got hold of some idle rascals to form a mob and set the town in an uproar; they attacked Jason's house in the endeavour to bring them out before the populace, 6 but as they failed to find Paul and Silas they haled Jason and some of the brothers before the politarchs, yelling, "These upsetters of the whole world have come here too! 7 Jason has welcomed them! They all violate the decrees of Caesar by declaring someone else called Jesus is king." 8 Both the crowd and the politarchs were disturbed when they heard this; 9 however, they let Jason and the others go, after binding them over to keep the peace.
