Verse five, but the Jews which believed not. These are the people who just rejected what Paul just said
moved with envy
Notice it doesn't say move because they thought that they were right
Right
That's a different story if they think they're right, you know, they're deceived
That's one story what that's one thing but here it says that they were moved with envy
They were upset at the fact that paul
In one swipe right three sabbath days was able to basically convert their entire synagogue
He says moved with enemy took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sword
Now folks if these people were sincere
What they would have done is taken unto them certain righteous people
To preach the word of god back right to confirm or to debunk what they're saying
But that's not what we see they took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sword
They basically got the scum of the world
They gathered a company and set all the city on an uproar
And assaulted the house of jason. So jason's name comes up
So this is obviously a guy who's involved in this particular church
He's involved in this group of believers and he must be someone of leadership or influence
Because anytime the devil attacks he always goes after the leader
Okay, he always goes after the head anytime the devil attacks a family he goes after the husband
Anytime he goes after a church he goes after the pastor
He's always attacking the leader. So this is why they're basically attacking and persecuting jason
He says they assaulted the house of jason and sought to bring them out of to the people verse six
and when they found them not
They drew jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city crying
These that have turned the world upside down
Are come hither also now, this is a powerful statement folks
Because they're all the way in greece
This is thessalonika. This is the roman province. This is near
Macedonia, okay. This is very far from
Jerusalem and judea
This is a different portion and what we see here is the jews are saying hey
These that have turned the world upside down the world that they're referring to is israel
People are come hither also
