They gave him audience unto this word; they had heard all the rest of St. Paul's discourse without any gainsaying, either thinking it did not much concern them whether it were true or false, or else, being convinced of the truth of it, they were silent; but when the mercy of God unto any but themselves is mentioned, they are not able to bear with it. Though they themselves refused the offers of God's mercy, yet they could not endure that it should be tendered unto others; especially that others should be preferred before them in the tendering of it. Away with such a fellow from the earth; that is: Kill him; encouraging one another to so barbarous a murder, or exciting their rulers unto it.
