This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
No small stir (tarachos ouk oligos). Same phrase in Act 12:18 and nowhere else in the N.T. Litotes.
Concerning the Way (peri tēs hodou). See this phrase for Christianity in Act 9:2; Act 19:9; Act 24:22 which see, like the “Jesus Way” of the Indians. There had already been opposition and “stir” before this stage (cf. Act 19:11-20). The fight with wild beasts in 1Co 15:32 (whatever it was) was before that Epistle was written and so before this new uproar. Paul as a Roman citizen could not be thrown to wild beasts, but he so pictured the violent opponents of Christ in Ephesus.
