10 So the believers immediately sent Paul and Silas off during the night to go to Berea. In Berea they also attended at the Jewish meeting hall 11 and this group were more upper-class than the congregation in Thessalonica. They eagerly accepted the message and examined the scriptures every day to check if what was being taught matched what was written there. 12 Because it did, many of the people believed including quite a few of the prominent Greeks. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica found out that God’s message was also being proclaimed by Paul there in Berea, they soon turned up to agitate and stir the crowds. 14 So the believers immediately sent Paul off to the coast, but Silas and Timothy both stayed. 15 The ones guiding Paul took him to Athens before they headed back with his instructions for Silas and Timothy to come and join him again as soon as possible.
