Acts 13:45

45. So large an assemblage of the people, to hear a doctrine which appeared disparaging to the law of Moses, and which had, on this account, already offended the mass of the Jews, could but arouse their utmost indignation. They acted according to their uniform policy under such circumstances. (45) "But the Jews, when they saw the multitudes were filled with zeal, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming." This was one of the instances in which Paul could say, "I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." It was useless to reason with them further, or to attempt to conciliate them.
