Paul at Berea

10 ¹The brethren immediately sent ²Paul and Silas away by night to ³Berea, and when they arrived, they went into ⁴the synagogue of the Jews.

11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in ⁵Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily * to see whether these things were so.

12 Therefore ⁶many of them believed, along with a number * of ⁷prominent Greek ⁸women and men.

13 But when the Jews of ⁹Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in ¹⁰Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the crowds.

14 Then immediately ¹¹the brethren sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and ¹²Silas and ¹³Timothy remained there.

15 Now ¹⁴those who escorted Paul brought him as far as ¹⁵Athens; and receiving a command for ¹⁶Silas and Timothy to ¹⁷come to him as soon as possible, they left.
