“But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.”
King James Version (KJV)
14:1 They so spake - Persecution having increased their strength.
Ac 14:2 The unbelieving Jews. Here, as elsewhere, there was division. Those who stubbornly rejected the gospel were filled with hatred and opposed in every possible way. Stirred up the Gentiles. As they could do nothing without the aid of the Gentiles in that Gentile city, the Jews sought to prejudice them. Notwithstanding, for a long time, Paul and Barnabas, continued to preach there with great success.
