Acts 17:13

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.
