Talált 21 Eredmények: Jason
Menelaus presented himself to the king whom he impressed by his personal bearing as a man of authority, and so obtained the office of high priest for himself, offering three hundred talents more than Jason. (2 Maccabees 4, 24)
Jason, who had usurped the office of his brother, was now supplanted by another, and had to flee to the land of Ammon. (2 Maccabees 4, 26)
As a false rumor spread that Antiochus had died, Jason gathered together about ten thousand men and launched a surprise attack on the city. The troops upon the walls defended the city, but once these were taken, the whole city fell into the hands of Jason, while Menelaus took refuge in the Citadel. (2 Maccabees 5, 5)
Jason cruelly massacred his fellow citizens, without realizing that his victory against his own nation was the greatest defeat. He seemed to believe that he was winning over enemies when, in reality, these were his own people. (2 Maccabees 5, 6)
This only made the Jews jealous, so they gathered some of the good-for-nothing street loafers and formed a mob to start a riot in the town. They came to the house of Jason, in an attempt to bring Paul and Silas before the people's assembly. (Acts 17, 5)
Not finding them there, they dragged off Jason and some believers to the city authorities shouting, "These people who have turned the world upside down have come here also, (Acts 17, 6)
and Jason has given them hospitality. They all disregard the decrees of the Emperor and claim that there is another king, Jesus." (Acts 17, 7)
The officials released Jason and the others on bail. (Acts 17, 9)
Timothy, who is with me, sends you greetings, and so do Lucius, Jason and Sosipatros, my relatives. (Romans 16, 21)
