4 Quelques-uns d’entre eux furent persuadés, et se joignirent à Paul et à Silas, ainsi qu’une grande multitude de Grecs craignant Dieu, et beaucoup de femmes de qualité.

5 Mais les Juifs, jaloux prirent avec eux quelques méchants hommes de la populace, provoquèrent des attroupements, et répandirent l’agitation dans la ville. Ils se portèrent à la maison de Jason, et ils cherchèrent Paul et Silas, pour les amener vers le peuple.

6 Ne les ayant pas trouvés, ils traînèrent Jason et quelques frères devant les magistrats de la ville, en criant: Ces gens, qui ont bouleversé le monde, sont aussi venus ici, et Jason les a reçus.
