فَغَارَ الْيَهُودُ غَيْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَاتَّخَذُوا رِجَالاً أَشْرَارًا مِنْ أَهْلِ السُّوقِ، وَتَجَمَّعُوا وَسَجَّسُوا الْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَامُوا عَلَى بَيْتِ يَاسُونَ طَالِبِينَ أَنْ يُحْضِرُوهُمَا إِلَى الشَّعْبِ.

the Jews . . . moved with envy--seeing their influence undermined by this stranger. lewd fellows of the baser sort--better, perhaps, "worthless market people," that is, idle loungers about the market-place, of indifferent character. gathered a company--rather, "having raised a mob." assaulted the house of Jason--with whom Paul and Silas abode (Act 17:7), one of Paul's kinsmen, apparently (Rom 16:21), and from his name, which was sometimes used as a Greek form of the word Joshua [GROTIUS], probably a Hellenistic Jew. sought to bring them--Jason's lodgers.
افتح المصدر ↗We have here a further account of the travels of Paul, and his services and sufferings for Christ. He was not like a candle upon a table, that gives light only to one room, but like the sun that goes its circuit to give light to many. He was called into Macedonia, a large kingdom, Act 16:9. He began with Philippi, because it was the first city he came to; but he must not confine himself to this. We have him here, I. Preaching and persecuted at Thessalonica, another city of Macedonia (Act 17:1-9). II. Preaching at Berea, where he met with an encouraging auditory, but was driven thence also by persecution (Act 17:10-15). III. Disputing at Athens, the famous university of Greece (Act 17:16-21), and the account he gave of natural religion, for the conviction of those that were addicted to polytheism and idolatry, and to lead them to the Christian religion (Act 17:22-31), together with the success of this sermon (Act 17:32-34).
افتح المصدر ↗17:5-7 Once again, the enemies of the Christian faith saw it as a disruptive threat (cp. 16:19-21). Ironically, they gathered some troublemakers and then accused Paul and Silas of causing trouble by disturbing the peace and committing treason against Caesar—serious charges of threatening the stability of the empire (cp. Luke 23:2).

فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ الْيَهُودُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ تَسَالُونِيكِي أَنَّهُ فِي بِيرِيَّةَ أَيْضًا نَادَى بُولُسُ بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ، جَاءُوا يُهَيِّجُونَ الْجُمُوعَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضًا.
لاَ نَكُنْ مُعْجِبِينَ نُغَاضِبُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، وَنَحْسِدُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.
حَسَدٌ قَتْلٌ سُكْرٌ بَطَرٌ، وَأَمْثَالُ هذِهِ الَّتِي أَسْبِقُ فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ عَنْهَا كَمَا سَبَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ لاَ يَرِثُونَ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ.
يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ تِيمُوثَاوُسُ الْعَامِلُ مَعِي، وَلُوكِيُوسُ وَيَاسُونُ وَسُوسِيبَاتْرُسُ أَنْسِبَائِي.
وَلكِنَّ الْيَهُودَ غَيْرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَرُّوا وَأَفْسَدُوا نُفُوسَ الأُمَمِ عَلَى الإِخْوَةِ.
وَقَدْ قَبِلَهُمْ يَاسُونُ. وَهؤُلاَءِ كُلُّهُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ ضِدَّ أَحْكَامِ قَيْصَرَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ مَلِكٌ آخَرُ: يَسُوعُ!»
لأَنَّنَا فِي خَطَرٍ أَنْ نُحَاكَمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ فِتْنَةِ هذَا الْيَوْمِ. وَلَيْسَ عِلَّةٌ يُمْكِنُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ حِسَابًا عَنْ هذَا التَّجَمُّعِ».
وَأَعْطَوْهُ سَبْعِينَ شَاقِلَ فِضَّةٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ بَعْلِ بَرِيثَ، فَاسْتَأْجَرَ بِهَا أَبِيمَالِكُ رِجَالاً بَطَّالِينَ طَائِشِينَ، فَسَعَوْا وَرَاءَهُ.
لأَنَّكُمْ بَعْدُ جَسَدِيُّونَ. فَإِنَّهُ إِذْ فِيكُمْ حَسَدٌ وَخِصَامٌ وَانْشِقَاقٌ، أَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِحَسَبِ الْبَشَرِ؟
وَلَمَّا كَانَ غَالِيُونُ يَتَوَلَّى أَخَائِيَةَ، قَامَ الْيَهُودُ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ عَلَى بُولُسَ، وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْوِلاَيَةِ
