At what point in Paul's speech did the crowd turn on him?
The crowd turned on Paul when he spoke the word 'Gentile.' They had given him audience and listened to every word until that point, but at that word they lifted their voices, saying, 'Away with such a fellow from the earth, it's not fit that he should live.'
Les explains that Paul was speaking to this great crowd of Jews, and they gave him audience—they listened to every word Saul or Paul was saying—until he spoke the word 'Gentile.' At that word, they lifted up their voices and said, 'Away with such a fellow from the earth, it's not fit that he should live.' Les points out this reveals the Jews' attitude toward Gentile dogs: the very mention of Gentile infuriated them. He connects this to Romans, where Paul writes that God called not of the Jews only but also of the Gentile, and notes this wasn't Paul's concept but goes back to Isaiah.
And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
