Acts 17:11

Paul And Silas In Berea

¹⁰ And the brothers straight away sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea: and they, when they came there, went to the Synagogue of the Jews. ¹¹ Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so. ¹² And a number of them had faith, and no small number of the Greek women of high position and of the men.
