Acts 14:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

The unbelieving, or disobedient, Jews, who did not believe the truths or obey the precepts of the gospel, stirred up the Gentiles; urging, persuading, and pressing of them, who of themselves (though as yet ignorant of Christ, and his word) would not have been so cruel. The brethren; the apostles themselves, and others that were converted by them, whose common father God through Christ was, and were accordingly endeared one to another.
