Acts 17:6-14

⁶But not finding them they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials vociferating: “These who have upset the whole world have come here too,

⁷to whom Jason has given lodging. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.”

⁸Well they agitated the crowd and the city officials when they heard these things.

⁹Then they took a security bond from Jason and the rest and let them go.

¹⁰Immediately, during the night, the brothers sent both Paul and Silas away to Berea; on arriving they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all goodwill, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things might be so.

¹²Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.

¹³But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the Word of God was also being proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came too, agitating the crowds.

¹⁴So then, without delay, the brothers sent Paul away, as if to go by sea, while both Silas and Timothy remained there.
