Paul and Silas Go to Berea

¹⁰ That same night the ·believers [^Lbrothers] sent Paul and Silas to ·Berea [^Ca Macedonian city to the south] where [^Lupon arriving] they went to the synagogue [^Lof the Jews]. ¹¹ These people were more ·willing to listen [open-minded; fair-minded; noble in character] than the people in Thessalonica. The Bereans ·were eager to hear what Paul and Silas said [^Leagerly received the word/message] and ·studied [examined] the Scriptures every day to find out if these things were true [^Cto confirm Paul’s teaching was in line with Scripture]. ¹² So, many of them believed, as well as ·many [^Lnot a few] ·important [prominent; socially high-standing] Greek women and men [17:4].
