9 And having received the bond[a] from Jason and the others, they released them.
In Berea, The People Examine The Scriptures With Paul And Silas
10 And the brothers immediately sent-away both Paul and Silas during the night to Berea— who, having arrived, were going into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these ones were more-noble[b] than the ones in Thessalonica— who[c] received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things might hold so.

- Acts 17:11 That is, more spiritually noble-minded, as seen in their willingness to examine the Scriptures.
