“And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,”
There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews, together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them — the temporary unity against the missionaries (Gentiles and Jews together) represents a rare consensus, showing how institutional and religious establishments can align against the gospel. The threat of stoning prefigures Paul's later experience in this very city (14:19).
