Acts 17:7-15

⁷whom Jason hath entertained; and they are all acting in opposition to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.

⁸And they alarmed the multitude and the city magistrates when they heard these things.

⁹And having taken security of Jason and of the others, they let them go.

¹⁰And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea; who, having come there, went into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.

¹²Many of them therefore believed; and of the Grecian women of rank and men, not a few.

¹³But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew that at Beroea, too, the word of God was preached by Paul, they came hither also, and stirred up the multitudes.

¹⁴And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go to the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.

¹⁵And they who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and having received a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
