17:10-15
|
As
soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to
Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
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.
Many
of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women
and many Greek men.
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.
The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast,
but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. The men who escorted Paul
brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and
Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
