Et comme il se fut fait une meute tant des Gentils que des Juifs, et de leurs Gouverneurs, pour insulter les Aptres, et pour les lapider,
Et ceux des nations et les Juifs avec leurs chefs s'tant soulevs pour les outrager et pour les lapider,
Et comme les paens et les Juifs, de concert avec leurs chefs, se mettaient en mouvement pour les outrager et les lapider,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when there was an assault made,.... Or a strong bias and inclination were in the minds,
both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews, with their rulers; who encouraged them in it:
to use them despitefully, and to stone them; not only to give them reproachful language, but to smite, buffet, and scourge them, and to stone them for blasphemy, which was a punishment among the Jews for such causes.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
An assault made - Greek: a “rush” - ὁρμή hormē. It denotes “an impetuous excitement and aggression; a rush to put them to death.” It rather describes a popular tumult than a calm and deliberate purpose. There was a violent, tumultuous excitement.
Both of the Gentiles ... - Of that part of them which was opposed to the apostles.
To use them despitefully - See the notes on Matthew 5:44. To reproach them; to bring contempt upon them; to injure them.
And to stone them - To put them to death by stoning; probably as blasphemers, Acts 7:57-59.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 14:5. An assault made — ορμη, A desperate attempt was made by their rulers, i.e. by the heathen rulers of the people, and the rulers of the synagogue.
To use them despitefully — To expose them, bring them into contempt, and make them appear as monsters, or movers of sedition; and then to stone them for this falsely alleged crime.
