Plus ça change

plus c'est la même chose

In today's first reading (Acts 13:44-52)

• Nearly the entire population of a city comes to hear the word of the Lord from an Apostle
• Opinionmakers see the crowds and are filled with jealousy
• They contradict what the Apostle says "with violent abuse"

(Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose - "the more things change, the more they remain the same" - Alphonse Karr)
