Antioch and Iconium were cities where Paul had previously preached, and his message had stirred significant controversy. The Jews' arrival from these cities indicates a concerted effort to undermine Paul's ministry. This reflects the broader pattern of Jewish opposition to the early Christian movement, as seen in <a href="/acts/13-45.htm">Acts 13:45</a> and <a href="/acts/14-2.htm">Acts 14:2</a>, where jealousy and resistance to the Gospel were prevalent.and won over the crowds. The ability of these Jews to sway the crowds suggests the volatile nature of public opinion in the ancient world. It also underscores the influence of persuasive rhetoric and the deep-seated tensions between Jewish traditions and the emerging Christian faith. This mirrors the events in <a href="/acts/17-5.htm">Acts 17:5-8</a>, where similar tactics were used to incite opposition against Paul and Silas.They stoned Paul Stoning was a traditional Jewish method of execution for blasphemy, as prescribed in <a href="/leviticus/24-16.htm">Leviticus 24:16</a>. This act indicates the severity of the accusations against Paul, who was seen as a threat to Jewish religious authority. The stoning of Paul echoes the martyrdom of Stephen in <a href="/acts/7-58.htm">Acts 7:58-60</a>, highlighting the recurring theme of persecution faced by early Christians.and dragged him outside the city, Dragging Paul outside the city aligns with the Jewish custom of executing punishment outside the community, as seen in the stoning of Stephen. This act also reflects the cultural practice of removing perceived impurity from the city, as described in <a href="/numbers/15-35.htm">Numbers 15:35-36</a>. It symbolizes the rejection of Paul's message by the local populace.presuming he was dead. The presumption of Paul's death signifies the severity of the attack and the miraculous nature of his survival, which is further elaborated in the following verses. This event foreshadows Paul's later writings in <a href="/2_corinthians/11-25.htm">2 Corinthians 11:25</a>, where he recounts his sufferings for the sake of the Gospel.

The strength of the hostility is shown by the facts, (1) that the Jews of the two cities were acting in concert, and (2) that those of the former had travelled not less than one hundred and thirty miles to hinder the Apostle's work.Who persuaded the people.--The sudden change of feeling is almost as startling as that which transformed the hosannas of the multitudes at Jerusalem into the cry of "Crucify Him!" (<a href="/matthew/21-9.htm" title="And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.">Matthew 21:9</a>; <a href="/matthew/27-22.htm" title="Pilate said to them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.">Matthew 27:22</a>.) It is not difficult, however, to understand these vicissitudes of feeling in a barbarous and superstitious people. We find a like sudden change in an opposite direction in the people of Melita (<a href="/acts/28-6.htm" title="However, they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.">Acts 28:6</a>). If the strangers who were endowed with such mysterious powers were not "gods in the likeness of men," they might be sorcerers, or even demons, in the evil sense of that word. The Jews, ever ready to impute signs and wonders to Beelzebub, the chief of the demons (see Notes on <a href="/matthew/10-34.htm" title="Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.">Matthew 10:34</a>; <a href="/matthew/12-24.htm" title="But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.">Matthew 12:24</a>), would readily work on this feeling, and terrify the people into the cruel ferocity of panic. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 19. - But there came Jews thither for and there came thither certain Jews, A.V.; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned for who persuaded the people, and having stoned, A.V.; and dragged for drew, A.V.; that he was dead for he had been dead, A.V. But there came Jews, etc. Observe the persistent enmity of the unbelieving Jews. The same fickleness of the multitude which led those who had cried, "Hosanna!" to turn round and say, "Crucify him!" here led those who would have worshipped Paul as a god, now to stone him as a blasphemer. This is, doubtless, the instance to which St. Paul alludes when he says "Once was I stoned," (<a href="/2_corinthians/11-25.htm">2 Corinthians 11:25</a>). <a href="/commentaries/acts/14-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Then δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. [some] Jews Ἰουδαῖοι (Ioudaioi) Adjective - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_2453.htm">Strong's 2453: </a> Jewish.
