I have come to bring fire down to the earth, and how I wish it were kindled already!

But when the Jews saw the crowd, they were very jealous, and they contradicted what Paul said and abused him.

So some of the people, when they heard these words, said, "This is certainly the Prophet!"

But the Jews who refused their message stirred up the heathen and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

But the people of the town were divided, some siding with the Jews and some with the apostles.
