6. When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here too,

7. and Jason has received them as guests! They are all acting contrary to Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king — Jesus! ”

8. The Jews stirred up the crowd and the city officials who heard these things.

9. So taking a security bond from Jason and the others, they released them.

10. As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas off to Berea. On arrival, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

11. The people here were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, since they welcomed the message with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

12. Consequently, many of them believed, including a number of the prominent Greek women as well as men.
