Acts 17:10-15 - Paul And Silas In Berea

¹⁰ The brethren at once sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea, and they, on their arrival, went to the synagogue of the Jews. ¹¹ The Jews at Beroea were of a nobler disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they very readily received the Message, and day after day searched the Scriptures to see whether it was as Paul stated. ¹² As the result many of them became believers, and so did not a few of the Greeks--gentlewomen of good position, and men. ¹³ As soon, however, as the Jews of Thessalonica learnt that God's Message had been proclaimed by Paul at Beroea, they came there also, and incited the mob to a riot. ¹⁴ Then the brethren promptly sent Paul down to the sea-coast, but Silas and Timothy remained behind. ¹⁵ Those who were caring for Paul's safety went with him as far as Athens, and then left him, taking a message from him to Silas and Timothy, asking them to join him as speedily as possible.
