Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - They for then, A.V.; voice for voices, A.V. Unto this word. They could not bear the idea of the Gentiles being admitted into the kingdom of God. It was a blow to their pride of exclusiveness. The leveling-up of the Gentiles seemed to be as intolerable as the leveling-down of themselves, as spoken of e.g. Isaiah 1:10; Ezekiel 16:45, etc.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) Away with such a fellow from the earth.--The scene was ominously like that in which St. Stephen's speech ended. Immediate execution without the formality of a trial--an eager craving for the blood of the blasphemer--this was what their wild cries demanded and expressed. On the words themselves, see Note on Acts 21:36.
