Acts 17:10-15
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea, which when they were come thither, entered into the Synagogue of the Jews.
11 [b]These were also more [c]noble men than they which were at Thessalonica, which received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed, and of honest women, which were Grecians, and men not a few.
13 ¶ [d]But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew, that the word of God was also preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and moved the people.
14 [e]But by and by the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy abode there still.
15 [f]And they that did conduct Paul, [g]brought him unto Athens: and when they had received a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him at once, they departed.
