Acts 17:5

Προσλαβόμενοι δὲ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι οἱ ἀπειθοῦντες, τῶν ἀγοραίων τινὰς ἄνδρας πονηρούς, καὶ ὀχλοποιήσαντες, ἐθορύβουν τὴν πόλιν· ἐπιστάντες τε τῇ οἰκίᾳ Ἰάσονος, ἐζήτουν αὐτοὺς ἀγαγεῖν εἰς τὸν δῆμον.
Proslabomenoi de oi Ioydaioi oi apeithoyntes, tōn agoraiōn tinas andras ponēroys, kai ochlopoiēsantes, ethoryboyn tēn polin· epistantes te tē oikia Iasonos, ezētoyn aytoys agagein eis ton dēmon.
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.
