Matthew 10:34

Do not imagine I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword.

I have come to throw fire on earth. Would it were kindled already!

But when the Jews saw the crowds they were filled with jealousy; they began to contradict what Paul said and to abuse him.

On hearing this some of the people said, "This really is the Prophet";

[Move to follow vs 3] But the refractory Jews stirred up and exasperated the feeling of the Gentiles against the brothers.

The populace of the town was divided; some sided with the Jews, some with the apostles.
