But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they began to contradict what Paul was saying by reviling him.

When both the Gentiles and the Jews (together with their rulers) made an attempt to mistreat them and stone them,

When they opposed him and reviled him, he protested by shaking out his clothes and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!”

Then they secretly instigated some men to say, “We have heard this man speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”

This was the one who exploited our people and was cruel to our ancestors, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.

But the man who was unfairly hurting his neighbor pushed Moses aside, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge over us?

I have certainly seen the suffering of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. Now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
