Ammonius of Alexandria : They caused an uprising against the faithful. The Jews joined forces with the Greeks so that what was said in the psalm might be fulfilled: "Why do the nations clamor and peoples devise plans in vain?" when, all the while, the faithful, throughout all their exhortations, kept calling them brothers when they said, "My brothers." And in the same manner, the psalm, speaking for Christ, also prophesied about the Lord as doing and saying this very thing, "I will declare your name to my brothers." — CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 14.2 Bede : They stirred up the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers. What follows in Greek: "But God made peace," is missing in some Latin manuscripts. And there: "They were preaching," it follows in Greek: "And the whole multitude was moved by their teaching." — Commentary on Acts John Chrysostom : "But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren." Together with themselves now they took to stirring up the Gentiles too, as not being themselves sufficient. Then why did the Apostles not go forth thence? Why, they were not driven away, only attacked. — Homily on Acts 30 John Chrysostom : "Made their minds evil-affected," it says, "against the brethren": i.e. slandered the Apostles, raised numberless accusations against them: these people, being simple, they "made evil-affected," disposed them to act a malignant part. — Homily on Acts 30
