Gill's Notes on the Bible
But when the Jews of Thessalonica,.... The unbelieving Jews there,
had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea; which they came at, either by persons that came from thence to Thessalonica, or by letters sent them:
they came thither also; as the Jews from Antioch and Iconium came to Lystra on a like account, Acts 14:19
and stirred up the people; the common people, the natives of the place, against the apostles; suggesting that they were wicked men, and enemies to all laws, human or divine, civil or religious.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Stirred up the people - The word used here ÏÎ±Î»ÎµÏ Ìειν saleuein denotes properly âto agitateâ or âexcite,â as the waves of the sea are agitated by the wind. It is with great beauty used to denote the âagitation and excitement of a popular tumult,â from its resemblance to the troubled waves of the ocean. The figure is often employed by the Classic writers, and also occurs in the Scriptures. See Psalms 65:7; Isaiah 17:12-13; Jeremiah 46:7-8.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 17:13. The Jews of Thessalonica - stirred up the people. — With what implacable malice did these men persecute the Gospel! And in the same spirit they continue to the present day, though it is evidently the sole cause of their wretchedness.
