In Berea

¹³ But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea,^(A) some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. ¹⁴ The believers^(B) immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas^(C) and Timothy^(D) stayed at Berea.

² As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue,^(A) and on three Sabbath^(B) days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,^(C)

⁴ He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus^(A) and Secundus from Thessalonica,^(B) Gaius^(C) from Derbe, Timothy^(D) also, and Tychicus^(E) and Trophimus^(F) from the province of Asia.^(G)

²⁵ But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.^(A)

Paul Transferred to Caesarea

²³ Then he called two of his centurions and ordered them, “Get ready a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen^[a] to go to Caesarea^(A) at nine tonight.^{(B) 24} Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix.”^(C)

⁶ But they found out about it and fled^(A) to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, ⁷ where they continued to preach^(B) the gospel.^(C)

⁴² Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace,^(A) for we have sworn friendship^(B) with each other in the name of the Lord,^(C) saying, ‘The Lord is witness^(D) between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.^(E)’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.^[a]
