Acts 17:12-15

¹²So a lot of those Jewish people believed in Jesus, and some of the important women and men that were not Jews believed in Jesus too.

¹³But the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul was in Berea telling people God’s message about Jesus. Then they got up and went to Berea and made trouble for Paul, and got a lot of other people to make trouble too.

¹⁴So some of the Christian men in Berea took Paul out of that town. They went down to the sea, and they all got on a ship and went to the town called Athens. But Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea.

¹⁵Then Paul said to the men that took him to Athens, “As soon as you get back to Berea tell Silas and Timothy to come to me here. Tell them to hurry and come here as soon as they can.” Then those men left Athens and went back to Berea.
