Paul being so successful in converting Jews and non Jews into following Jesus Christ that it cause envy and jealousy among the Jews leader. There is also the loss of income and power. I believe, there was also the spiritual war that Satan is determine to stop Paul's work. Thus he uses these Jews to rise up against Paul. Paul being so close to christ and the holy spirit living in him had enable him to see the sinful world that we are living in. He had also developed the same compassion to all the lost soul and had a real desire to see them saved. Thus Paul continued to preach the gospel even though there were strong violent reaction against him. Learning from Paul we should not stop spreading the truth of good news when we face violent reaction. This only confirmed that satan has feeled threaten.
