troublemakers from the marketplace to form a mob and start a
riot. They attacked the home of Jason, searching for Paul and
Silas so they could drag them out to the crowd. 6 Not finding
them there, they dragged out Jason and some of the other
believers instead and took them before the city council. ‘Paul
and Silas have caused trouble all over the world,’ they shouted,
‘and now they are here disturbing our city, too. 7 And Jason
has welcomed them into his home. They are all guilty of
treason against Caesar, for they profess allegiance to another
king, named Jesus.’ 8 The people of the city, as well as the city
council, were thrown into turmoil by these reports.”

swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those
who go down to the pit; 13 we will get all sorts of
valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; 14 cast
lots with us; we will all share the loot”— 15 my son, do
not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; 16 for their feet rush into evil.”
