Shaking off the dust

Acts 13:49-51 - The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

I wonder what kinds of things the unbelieving Jews told the prominent people of the city that caused the expulsion of Paul and Barnabas. I wonder if it's the same types of complaints, slanders, lies, and other arguments that are used today when and wherever the Gospel is opposed. There's nothing new under the sun, you know.
