John Chrysostom, on Acts 6:12

“And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.”

“"And they stirred up the people." Fickleness of the multitude! And yet how could a man who was a blasphemer have so succeeded? How could a blasphemer work such miracles among the people? But the undisciplined multitude made them strong who had the worst of it in argument.”
