But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
Note 4 at Acts 17:5: This is the only mention of Jason in scripture unless the Jason mention in Rom. 16:21 was the same man which would make him a relative of the apostle Paul. Jason was apparently Paul's host while he was in Thessalonica (v.7) and because of his hospitality to Paul and Silas he was arrested by the civil leaders and only released after posting bail (v. 9).
