Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 13:45

45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

The Iews could not endure that the Gentiles should be equalled to them, (being as much concerned against the Gentiles being exalted, as against their own being depressed)

Envy; as a vicious humour, made them disrelish the wholesomest, and most saving truths: contradicting the Doctrine of the Gospel, and blaspheming the Preachings of it; or going from one degree of opposition unto another, until they came to the highest enmity against both.
