“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;”
They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd — 'These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here' — The phrase katastrepho, "to turn upside down" or "to throw the social order into chaos," reveals how radically the gospel destabilizes existing power structures. The accusation unwittingly testifies to the movement's revolutionary theological potency.
