Jason gets in trouble in Thessalonica

Acts 17:1–9

17:1 Jason gets in trouble in Thessalonica

17After travelling through Amphipolis and Apollonia, Paul and Silas went to Thessalonica where there was a Jewish meeting hall. 2Paul’s custom was to attend at the local meeting hall on the Rest Day, so he did that, and for three weekends in a row he discussed the scriptures with them, 3showing them how that it had been written that the messiah would suffer and be killed and come back to life, and then explaining, “This Yeshua that I’ve been telling you about is the messiah.” 4Some of them were persuaded and joined with Paul and Silas, along with a big group of godly Greeks and quite a few prominent women.

5But some of the other Jews were envious of them, and enlisted some of the troublemakers from the marketplaces to form a mob. They stirred up all the people, and looking for Paul and Silas so they could bring them out, arrived at the house of a man named Jason. 6But when they realised that Paul and Silas weren’t there, they dragged Jason and some other believers off to the city leaders, shouting, “Those two men who’ve gone around upsetting the whole world have now come here as well 7and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They rebel against Caesar’s decrees and claim that Yeshua is a rival king. 8They stirred up the crowd and the city leaders with these accusations, 9so the leaders collected a heavy fine from Jason and the others, and then released them.
