Acts 13:50

But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.

1. The Jewish leadership in the local synagogue saw that they were losing the struggle to these men from outside.

2. They stirred up:

1. Prominent women

2. Chief men of the city

3. They were trying to incite a rebellion against Paul. They sought to expell them from the region.

4. When you put water on a grease fire - it does not go out - it spreads. The Jews were squirting water in this fire - and it spread.
