Noble Bereans

"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."
(Acts 17:11)
(The Bereans studied the Old Testament Scripture)

Not so noble Jews

"When the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, they went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up."
(Acts 17:13)

The disciples sent Paul to Athens.
Timothy and Silas stayed in Berea for a while.
