FROM THIS WEEK'S TORAH PORTION:
“And Moshe went and spoke these words to all Yisra’el, and he said to them, ‘I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I am no longer able to go out and come in. And YHWH has said to me, “You do not pass over this Yarden.” YHWH your Elohim Himself is passing over before you. He shall destroy these nations from before you and you possess them. Yehoshua himself is passing over before you, as YHWH has spoken. And YHWH shall do to them as He did to Sichon and to Oḡ, the kings of the Amorites and their land, when He destroyed them. And YHWH shall give them over to you, and you shall do to them according to all the command which I have commanded you. Be strong and courageous, do not fear nor be afraid of them. For it is YHWH your Elohim who is going with you. He does not fail you nor forsake you.’ And Moshe called Yehoshua and said to him before the eyes of all Yisra’el, ‘Be strong and courageous, for you are going with this people to the land which YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you are to let them inherit it. And it is YHWH who is going before you, He Himself is with you. He does not fail you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be discouraged.’”

As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath. And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Acts 13:42-43 ESV
This is a mixed group of Jews and God-fearers who begged Paul and Barnabas to continue teaching on the Sabbaths. So when v45 talks about "the Jews", it is referring only to the Jewish religious leadership, not to the common people.
