“Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.”
And Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus — The Jewish accusers shrewdly pivot to political language: the claim of 'another king' (basileus heteros, another king) translates theology into treason comprehensible to Roman magistrates. Luke captures how Jewish resistance reframes the gospel in imperial terms.
