This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium - Furious zeal that would travel so far to counteract the missionaries of the Cross!
persuaded the people - “the multitudes.”
and having stoned Paul - (See on Act 14:5). Barnabas they seem to have let alone; Paul, as the prominent actor and speaker, being the object of all their rage. The words seem to imply that it was the Jews who did this; and no doubt they took the lead (Act 14:19), but it was the act of the instigated and fickle multitudes along with them.
drew him out of the city - By comparing this with Act 7:58 it will be seen that the Jews were the chief actors in this scene.
