‏ Acts 17:5-6

v. 5–9: But other Jews became jealous. They gathered some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob, and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason’s house, looking for Paul and Silas, but did not find them. Instead, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.” The crowd and the officials were upset, but after making Jason and the others post bond, they let them go. This shows that preaching about Jesus can lead to opposition and false accusations, but God can still protect his people.
