SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:5
Y haciendo ímpetu los judíos y los gentiles juntamente con sus príncipes, para afrentarlos y apedrearlos,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 14:5
Verse 5. An assault made] ormh, A desperate attempt was made by their rulers, i.e. by the heathen rulers of the people, and the rulers of the synagogue. 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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. And when there was an assault made , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - The apostles spake so plainly, with such evidence and proof of the Spirit, and with such power; so warmly, and with such concern for the souls of men; that those who heard them could not but say, God was with them of a truth. Yet the success was not to be reckoned to the manne of their preaching, but to the Spirit of God who used that means Perseverance in doing good, amidst dangers and hardships, is a blesse evidence of grace. Wherever God's servants are driven, they should see to declare the truth. When they went on in Christ's name and strength he failed not to give testimony to the word of his grace. He ha assured us it is the word of God, and that we may venture our soul upon it. The Gentiles and Jews were at enmity with one another, ye united against Christians. If the church's enemies join to destroy it shall not its friends unite for its preservation? God has a shelter for his people in a storm; he is, and will be their Hiding-place. In time of persecution, believers may see cause to quit a spot, though they d not quit their Master's work.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
5. Assault (ormh). 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 Jas. iii. 4. To stone. Paul says he was stoned once (2 Cor. xi. 25). This took place at Lystra (see ver. 19).
Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:5 {An onset} (horme). A rush or impulse as in #Jas 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 arcousin autwn), that is the rulers of the Jewish synagogue (#13:27). The city officials would hardly join in a mob like this , though Hackett and Rackham think that the city civil officers were also involved as in Antioch in Pisidia (#13:50). {To entreat them shamefully} (hubrisai). First aorist active infinitive of hubrizw, old verb to insult insolently. See on Mt 22:6; Lu 18:32. {To stone} (liqobolesai). First aorist active infinitive of liqobolew, late verb from liqobolos (liqos, stone, ballw, to throw) to pelt with stones, the verb used of the stoning of Stephen (#7:58). See on Mt 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).
