6and, not finding them there, they proceeded to drag Jason and some of the Lord's followers before the city magistrates, shouting out, “These men, who have turned the world upside down, have now come here,
7and have been harboured by Jason! They are all defying the decrees of the Emperor. They say that someone else is king — a man called Jesus!”
8On hearing this, the people and the city magistrates were much concerned;
9and, before letting them go, they took bail from Jason and the others.
10That very night the followers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and on reaching that place, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
11These Jews of Beroea were better disposed than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the message with great readiness, and daily examined the scriptures to see if what was said was true.
12As a consequence, many of them became believers in Christ, besides a considerable number of Greek women of position, and of men also.
13But, when the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica found out that God's message had been delivered by Paul at Beroea, they came there too, exciting and disturbing the minds of the people.
