Acts 14:19

Not satisfied with running Paul out of Iconium, unbelieving Jews travel 100 miles in order to continue their opposition. "Having won over the multitudes" Here we see how fickle men can be. "What. striking instance of the fickleness and instability of popular feeling.. few days or weeks before they were ready to worship them; now they give permission to let them be stoned. In the closing days of Jesus' earthly ministry when shouts of 'Hosanna!' Quickly changed to 'Crucify!'" (Reese p. 513). "They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city" This is. mob action, and his body was dragged outside to the city, like the body of. dead beast, left to any fate that might await. Paul later will note this stoning (2 Corinthians 11:25). "Supposing him to be dead" Luke too careful to record that Paul had not died, but that the Jews thought they had killed him. Barnabas is not stoned, probably because they had caught Paul all by himself.
