Acts 17:10-15

10As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.

11Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

12As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.

13But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up.

14The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea.

15Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
