THE MESSAGE
But it wasn't long before reports got back to the Thessalonian hard-line Jews that Paul was at it again, preaching the Word of God, this time in Berea. They lost no time responding, and created a mob scene there, too. With the help of his friends, Paul gave them the slip—caught a boat and put out to sea. Silas and Timothy stayed behind. The men who helped Paul escape got him as far as Athens and left him there. Paul sent word back with them to Silas and Timothy: "Come as quickly as you can!"

Contextual Overview
10 Then the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to the city of Be-re''a: and when they arrived there, they entered into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 For the Jews there were more liberal than the Jews who were in Thes-sa-lo-ni''ca, in that they gladly heard the word daily, and searched the scriptures to find out if these things were so. 12 And many of them believed; and of the Greeks were many men and notable women. 13 But when the Jews of Thes-sa-lo-ni''ca found out that the word of God was preached by Paul in the city of Be-re''a, they came there also; and ceased not to stir up and alarm the people. 14 Then the brethren sent Paul away to go to the sea; but Silas and Ti-mo''the-us remained in that city. 15 And those who escorted Paul went with him as far as the city of Athens: and when they were leaving him, they received from him an epistle to Silas and Ti-mo''the-us requesting them to come to him in haste.

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 σαλεύειν saleuein denotes properly “to agitate” or “excite,” as the waves of the sea are agitated by the wind. It is with great beauty used to denote the “agitation and excitement of a popular tumult,” 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.
