SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:13

Cuando entendieron los judíos de Tesal�nica que tambi�n en Berea era anunciada la Palabra de Dios por Pablo, fueron allí, y tambi�n alborotaron al pueblo.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 17:13

Verse 13. The Jews of Thessalonica-stirred up the people.] With what implacable malice did these men persecute the Gospel! And in the same spirit they continue to the present day, though it is evidently the sole cause of their wretchedness.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. But when the Jews of Thessalonica , etc.] The unbelieving Jews there, had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea ; which they came at, either by persons that came from thence to Thessalonica, or by letters sent them: they came thither also ; as the Jews from Antioch and Iconium came to Lystra on a like account, ( Acts 14:19) and stirred up the people ; the common people, the natives of the place, against the apostles; suggesting that they were wicked men, and enemies to all laws, human or divine, civil or religious.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-15 - The Jews in Berea applied seriously to the study of the word preache unto them. They not only heard Paul preach on the sabbath, but dail searched the Scriptures, and compared what they read with the fact related to them. The doctrine of Christ does not fear inquiry advocates for his cause desire no more than that people will fully an fairly examine whether things are so or not. Those are truly noble, an likely to be more and more so, who make the Scriptures their rule, an consult them accordingly. May all the hearers of the gospel become lik those of Berea, receiving the word with readiness of mind, an searching the Scriptures daily, whether the things preached to them ar so.

13. They that conducted (kaqistwntev). Lit., brought to the spot. Note the different word employed, ch. xv. 3 (see note there).

Robertson's NT Word Studies

17:13 {Was proclaimed} (kateggele). Second aorist passive indicative of kataggellw, common late verb as in #Ac 16:21. {Of Paul} (hupo paulou). By Paul, of course. {Stirring up and troubling the multitudes} (saleuontes kai tarassontes tous oclous). Shaking the crowds like an earthquake (#4:31) and disturbing like a tornado (#17:8). Success at Thessalonica gave the rabbis confidence and courage. The attack was sharp and swift. The Jews from Antioch in Pisidia had likewise pursued Paul to Iconium and Lystra. How long Paul had been in Beroea Luke does not say. But a church was established here which gave a good account of itself later and sent a messenger (#Ac 20:4) with their part of the collection to Jerusalem. this quiet and noble town was in a whirl of excitement over the attacks of the Jewish emissaries from Thessalonica who probably made the same charge of treason against Paul and Silas.
