Paul and Silas in Berea

10 Now the brothers sent away both Paul and Silas at once, during the night, to Berea. They[fn] went into the synagogue of the Jewswhen they[fn] arrived. 11 Now these were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica. They[fn] accepted the message with all eagerness, examining the scriptures every dayto see if these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and not a few of the prominent Greek women and men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica found out that the message of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there too, inciting and stirring up the crowds. 14 So then the brothers sent Paul away at once to go to the sea, and both Silas and Timothy remained there. 15 And those who conducted Paul brought him[fn] as far as Athens, andafter[fn] receiving an order for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as soon as possible, they went away.
