Acts 17:7-9
7 Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.” 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
The alleged crime of Paul and Silas came down to Jesus' claim to be King - but that was tried before, and Jesus told Pilate His kingdom was of heaven. So this attempt by the mob and its leaders to avoid accountability to God as sinners fell flat as the disciples got away. Even so, they felt it necessary to take money from those harboring and helping them. Even now laws and lawless ones fight against God and Christ to avoid facing Him ... in this life.
