O! beware, my lord of jealousy,
It is the green-ey'd monster
which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. -- Shakespeare
Jealousy is one of the common human emotions and one of the most unproductive. For some of the Jews, as mentioned in verse 45, this emotion flared when they observed the success of the apostles, for their zeal for tradition and faith seemed threatened. The emotion in the Hebrew parallel word for that in the Greek here speaks of "burning" or "redness" of countenance.
