But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.

1. When the Jews say how many people turned out - they were envious.

1. They had already lost many who were converted from Paul's sermon in the synagogue last week. I am sure many more were added thorough the week.

2. Now they see their entire base of support eroding from under them.

3. They opposed what Paul was teaching. No logic. No Scripture. No reasoning or discussion. Just opposition. All they could do is contradict Paul and accuse him of blasphemy.
