Context of Acts 14:5

3Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, 6They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: 7And there they preached the gospel.

Commentaries on Acts 14:5

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5An assault made - ̔, 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.Read the comment

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…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. an assault made ... to stone them--rather here, "an impetuous movement" with a view to stoning them: for in 2Co 11:25, Paul says, "Once I was stoned," and that was at Lystra, as expressly related in Ac 14:19. (Paley's remarks--Horæ Paulinæ--on this singular coincidence between the Epistle and the history are very striking). fled--(See Mt 10:23).Read the comment
