<p>22:22 <em>And they listened until this word, and then they lifted up their voice and said: Away with such a fellow from the earth For it is not fitting that he should live</em>- As noted on :17 and :21, the association of Gentiles with the temple was too much for them. &quot;They&quot; had a singular &quot;voice&quot;; they were united in hatred. This is why Luke likes to draw a parallel between how both the Christians and their enemies were of &quot;one accord&quot;. We are caught up in a spirit of unity either for or against the Lord. The Jews had the power to ask for the death penalty for someone who desecrated the temple, and they perceived that Paul's comment here as ground upon which to demand that penalty; they correctly understood him to mean that he had been sent to the Gentiles to include them in a more figurative temple.</p>
