There were always unbelieving Jews, and they were always ready to cause trouble for the early Christians anyway they could.  It is sad that God's chosen people caused as much or more trouble for the early church as did the lost world.  What is really bad is that they would always find other people, in this case certain lewd fellows of a baser sort, to ally with.  Those who were supposed to represent God to the world were instead envious of the Christians and joining with the world to destroy them.  As His followers, we can never afford to be envious of other Christians, and we can certainly never join forces with the world to destroy them.  They went to Jason's house looking for Paul and Silas.  They assaulted the house, but didn't find them.  There is no indication that they were authorized to do so, but that did not stop them.  Since they couldn't find Paul and Silas, they took Jason and certain brethren and dragged them before the magistrates.  What was their charge?  These that have turned the world upside down have come hither also.  Will we ever be changed with doing the same thing?  Then, Jason was accused of receiving them, and that they violated Caesar's decrees by proclaiming another king, Jesus.  May we ever be accused of proclaiming King Jesus.
