Brothers,
I don't think it is the very same Jews spoken of in each instance there. I don't think that it was the Jews who believed in Yeshua who tried to kill Paul that day...and who keep trying to do so for along while afterward, those were un-believing Jews, and some among them, are called "false brethren" who crept into The Assembly of the believing Jews in Messiah....and it was some of these non-believing ones who went after him all over the world trying to kill him and stop him from preaching The Gospel. They failed.
Those whom The Apostle Ya'qub were talking about, who had heard from these other non-believing Jews, that Paul was preaching against the Law... these were not the same Jews who were trying to kill him...no way... And of course he wasn't preaching against it, but was explaining the meaning for and of it, and how that The Messiah had fulfilled it, in His perfect life.
