Robertson: Act 14:5 - An onset

An onset ( hormē ).

A rush or impulse as in Jam 3:4. Old word, but only twice in the N.T. (here and James). It probably denotes not an actual attack so much as the open start, the co-operation of both Jews and Gentiles (the disaffected portion), "with their rulers"(sun tois archousin autōn ), that is the rulers of the Jewish synagogue (Act 13:27). The city officials would hardly join in a mob like this, though Hackett and Rackham think that the city magistrates were also involved as in Antioch in Pisidia (Act 13:50).

Robertson: Act 14:5 - To entreat them shamefully

To entreat them shamefully ( hubrisai ).

First aorist active infinitive of hubrizō , old verb to insult insolently. See Mat 22:6; Luk 18:32.

Robertson: Act 14:5 - To stone

To stone ( lithobolēsai ).

First aorist active infinitive of lithoboleō , late verb from lithobolos (lithos , stone, ballō , to throw) to pelt with stones, the verb used of the stoning of Stephen (Act 7:58). See Mat 21:35. The plan to stone them shows that the Jews were in the lead and followed by the Gentile rabble. "Legal proceedings having failed the only resource left for the Jews was illegal violence"(Rackham).

Vincent: Act 14:5 - Assault

Assault ( ὁρμὴ )

Too strong, as is also the Rev., onset. In case an actual assault had been made, it would have been absurd for Luke to tell us that " they were ware of it." It is rather the purpose and intention of assault beginning to assume the character of a movement. See on Jam 3:4.

Vincent: Act 14:5 - To stone

To stone

Paul says he was stoned once (2Co 11:25). This took place at Lystra (see Act 14:19).

JFB: Act 14:5 - an assault made . . . to stone them

Rather here, "an impetuous movement" with a view to stoning them: for in 2Co 11:25, Paul says, "Once I was stoned," and that was at Lystra, as expressly related in Act 14:19. (PALEY'S remarks--Horæ Paulinæ--on this singular coincidence between the Epistle and the history are very striking).

JFB: Act 14:5 - fled

(See Mat 10:23).

Clarke: Act 14:5 - An assault made

An assault made - Ὁρμη, A desperate attempt was made by their rulers, i.e. by the heathen rulers of the people, and the rulers of the synagogue

Clarke: Act 14:5 - To use them despitefully

To use them despitefully - To expose them, bring them into contempt, and make them appear as monsters, or movers of sedition; and then to stone them for this falsely alleged crime.

Calvin: Act 14:5 - NO PHRASE

5. Mark how far forth the holy champions of Christ did suffer. They give not back when their enemies do only set themselves against them; but when the sedition waxeth hot, and they be in danger of stoning, though they have many favorers of their doctrine, they go no further, but remembering the saying of Christ, wherein he warneth the faithful in patience to possess their souls, they avoid the fury of the enemy. And though they fly, lest they − ¹³ throw themselves headlong into death, yet their constancy in preaching the gospel doth sufficiently declare that they feared not danger. For Luke saith that they preached the gospel in other places also. This is the right kind of fear, when the servants of Christ do not run willfully into the hands of their enemies, of them to be murdered, and yet they do not foreslow [abandon] their duty; neither doth fear hinder them from obeying God when he calleth; and so, consequently, they can afford, if need be, to go even through death itself to do their duty. −

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Act 14:5 - Rulers // To use them despitefully // And to stone them

Rulers such as were called the chief men of the city Act 13:50 .

To use them despitefully thus they that were called to the marriage of the king’ s son, Mat 22:6 , entreated the servants despitefully.

And to stone them they would have used them as such who were not worthy to live, and then have taken away their lives from them, as they did by our Saviour; first they spat upon him, and then crucified him.

Gill: Act 14:5 - 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

And when there was an assault made,.... Or a strong bias and inclination were in the minds,

both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews, with their rulers; who encouraged them in it:

to use them despitefully, and to stone them; not only to give them reproachful language, but to smite, buffet, and scourge them, and to stone them for blasphemy, which was a punishment among the Jews for such causes.
