Acts 17:11

Paul And Silas In Berea

¹⁰ The brothers sent Paul and Silas off to Berea at once, during the night. When they arrived, they went to the Jewish synagogue. ¹¹ These Jews were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they eagerly received the message, examining the scriptures carefully every day to see if these things were so. ¹² Therefore many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
