In Berea

¹⁰ As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas^(A) away to Berea.^(B) On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.^{(C) 11} Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica,^(D) for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures^(E) every day to see if what Paul said was true.^{(F) 12} As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.^(G)

¹³ But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea,^(H) some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. ¹⁴ The believers^(I) immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas^(J) and Timothy^(K) stayed at Berea. ¹⁵ Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens^(L) and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.^(M)
