Acts 17:10

PaulSilasBerea

8 On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed.

9 And they collected bond from Jason and the others, and then released them.

As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

11 Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.

12 As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
