In the context of <a href="/acts/13.htm">Acts 13</a>, Paul and Barnabas are in Pisidian Antioch, a city in the region of Galatia. The "Jews" here refers to the Jewish leaders who were opposed to the message of the Gospel that Paul and Barnabas were preaching. This opposition is a recurring theme in Acts, as seen in <a href="/acts/9-23.htm">Acts 9:23</a> and <a href="/acts/14-2.htm">Acts 14:2</a>. The "religious women of prominence" indicates women who held significant social influence, possibly due to their wealth or connections. In the Greco-Roman world, women could hold considerable sway in religious and civic matters, as seen in other historical accounts. The "leading men of the city" were likely members of the local council or influential citizens. This collaboration between Jewish leaders and Gentile authorities against the apostles mirrors the opposition Jesus faced, as seen in <a href="/luke/23.htm">Luke 23:1-2</a>, where Jewish leaders incited Roman authorities against Him.They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas The phrase "stirred up persecution" suggests a deliberate and organized effort to oppose Paul and Barnabas. This persecution is not merely social ostracism but likely involved legal and physical threats, as seen in other parts of Acts (<a href="/acts/14-5.htm">Acts 14:5</a>, <a href="/acts/16-22.htm">Acts 16:22-24</a>). The opposition to the Gospel often involved both Jewish and Gentile authorities, reflecting the spiritual battle against the spread of Christianity. This persecution fulfills Jesus' prophecy in <a href="/john/15-20.htm">John 15:20</a>, where He warned His disciples that they would face persecution for His name's sake. The apostles' experience here is a type of Christ's own suffering and rejection, emphasizing the cost of discipleship.and drove them out of their district. The expulsion of Paul and Barnabas from the district signifies a rejection of the Gospel message by the local authorities. This act of driving them out is reminiscent of Jesus' instruction to His disciples in <a href="/matthew/10-14.htm">Matthew 10:14</a>, where He advised them to shake the dust off their feet as a testimony against those who do not receive them. The apostles' departure from Pisidian Antioch does not mark a failure but rather a strategic move in the spread of the Gospel, as they continue their missionary journey to other regions. This pattern of rejection and continued mission work is seen throughout Acts, highlighting the resilience and determination of the early church in fulfilling the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul_and_barnabas.htm">Paul and Barnabas</a> Early Christian missionaries who were spreading the Gospel.

They "compassed sea and land to make one proselyte" (<a href="/matthew/23-15.htm" title="Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.">Matthew 23:15</a>). They found it easier to make proselytes of women. Such conversions had their good and their bad sides. In many cases there was a real longing for a higher and purer life than was found in the infinite debasement of Greek and Roman society, which found its satisfaction in the life and faith of Israel. (See Notes on <a href="/acts/17-4.htm" title="And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.">Acts 17:4</a>; <a href="/acts/17-12.htm" title="Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.">Acts 17:12</a>.) But with many, such as Juvenal speaks of when he describes (Sat. vi. 542) the Jewish teacher who gains influence over women--"Arcanam Judaea tremens mendicat in auremInterpres legum Solymarum"--["The trembling Jewess whispers in her ear,And tells her of the laws of Solymse,"][3][3] Solymae, of course, stands for Jerusalem.the change brought with it new elements of superstition and weakness, and absolute submission of conscience to its new directors, and thus the Rabbis were often to the wealthier women of Greek and Roman cities what Jesuit confessors were in France and Italy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Here we get the darker side of the picture. The Jews stir up the women of the upper class, and they stir up their husbands. The latter were content apparently to acquiesce in their wives accepting the Judaism with which they had become familiar, but resented the intrusion of a new and, in one sense, more exacting doctrine. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/13.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 50. - Urged on for stirred up, A.V.; the devout women of honorable estate for the devout and honorable women, A.V. and T.R.; stirred up a for raised, A.V.; cast them out of their borders for expelled them out of their coasts, A.V. Urged on (παρώτρυναν). The word only occurs here in the New Testament, and is not common elsewhere. The devout women of honorable estate: εὐσχήμων is, literally, well-formed; then decent, becoming; and then honorable, well-to-do (comb. <a href="/acts/17-4.htm">Acts 17:4</a>, γυναικῶν τῶν πρώτων). See <a href="/mark/15-43.htm">Mark 15:43</a>, where Joseph of Arimathaea is described as εὐσχήμων βουλευτής, "an honorable counselor." The devout women (αι} σεβόμεναι) were the Gentile proselytes who worshipped God, as in ver. 43.
