John Chrysostom, on Acts 13:45

“And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.”

“"But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming." See malice wounded in wounding others: this made the Apostles more conspicuous - the contradiction which those offered. In the first instance then they of their own accord besought them to speak (and now they opposed them): "contradicting," it says, "and blaspheming." O recklessness!”
