Malice: Jews Toward Paul

The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people.

When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

…to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
