10The believers had Paul and Silas leave for Berea that very night. When they arrived in Berea they went to the Jewish synagogue.
11The people there had a better attitude than those in Thessalonica in that they were very quick to accept the word, and every day they examined the Scriptures to make sure what they were told was right.
12As a result many of them became believers, along with some highly-placed Greek women and men.
13But when the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul was also spreading the word of God in Berea, they went there and caused the same kind of trouble, stirring up the crowds.
14Immediately the believers sent Paul to the coast, while Silas and Timothy remained behind.
15Those escorting Paul took him as far as Athens, and then returned with instructions from Paul to Silas and Timothy that they should join him there as soon as possible.
16While Paul was waiting for them in Athens he was very troubled to see all the idolatry in the city.
17He debated in the synagogue with the Jews and those who worshiped God, as well as in the marketplace with those he happened to meet from day to day.
18Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also argued with him. “What is he going on about?” they wondered. Others concluded, “He seems to be teaching about some foreign gods,” because he was speaking about Jesus and the resurrection.
19So they took him to the Areopagus, and asked him, “Please tell us about this new teaching that you're promoting.
20We're hearing from you things that sound odd to us, so we'd like to know what they mean.”
