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.
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;
Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
