I had been under the impression that it was the native born Hebraic Jews who started the persecution of the Church but the indication here is that it was the Hellenistic Jews who seem to have murder on their minds.
Why does Paul restrict himself to the Hellenistic Jews at Jerusalem.
If some years have passed then it is possible to imagine a "purged" synangogue looking back askance at the division brought about by the Christian heretics.
What is the division between the Hebraic and Hellenistic Jews? I am looking for insight into their respective outlooks and communities. How could the Apostles ride out the storm of persecution? Did they hold back in what they were preaching? Did the Hellenist Believers go further in their preaching than the Apostles dared?
I know information is scant but I have yet to get a "handle" on this distinction.
