New TestamentActsThe Character of the Bereans · 17:10–1517:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.17:12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.17:14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.17:15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
