¹⁰ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

⁹ They wanted to put the believers in jail. But instead, the officials made Jason and the other believers pay a fine and told them that they would give the money back to them if Paul and Silas did not cause any more trouble. Then the authorities let Jason and those other believers go.

¹⁰ So that same night, the believers sent Paul and Silas out of Thessalonica to Berea town. When Paul and Silas arrived there, they went to the Jewish meeting place, on a day when people had gathered there.

¹¹ The Jews in Thessalonica had not been very willing to listen to God's message, but the Jews who lived in Berea were very willing to listen, so they listened very eagerly to the message about Jesus. Every day they read the Scriptures for themselves to find out if what Paul said about the Messiah was true.

¹² As a result, many of the Jewish people believed in Jesus, and also some of the important non-Jewish women and many non-Jewish men believed in him.

¹¹ Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so.

¹² And a number of them had faith, and no small number of the Greek women of high position and of the men.

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

¹⁰ But the brethren immediately sent away, in the night, Paul and Silas to Berea; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹⁰ Then the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away during the night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹ Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all readiness, each day examining the Scriptures to see whether these things might be so.

¹² Therefore many of them believed, and not a few of the prominent Greek women and men.

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

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

¹¹ Now 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.

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

⁹ So they made Jason and the others post bail before they let them go.

¹⁰ The believers had Paul and Silas leave for Berea that very night. When they arrived in Berea they went to the Jewish synagogue.

¹¹ The 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.

¹² As a result many of them became believers, along with some highly-placed Greek women and men.

⁹ Notwithstanding when they had receiued sufficient assurance of Iason and of the other, they let them goe.

⁹ and, before letting them go, they took bail from Jason and the others.

¹⁰ That very night the followers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and on reaching that place, they went to the Jewish synagogue.

¹¹ These Jews of Beroea were better disposed than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the message with great readiness, and daily examined the scriptures to see if what was said was true.

⁹ The town bosses made Jason and the other Christians pay some money, and told them, “You can only get your money back if Paul and Silas don’t make any more trouble.” Then the bosses let Jason and those other Christians go.

¹⁰ Then, that same night, the Thessalonica Christians sent Paul and Silas out of their town, to another town called Berea. As soon as they got to that town Paul and Silas went to the Jewish meeting house to talk to the people there.

¹¹ The Jews that lived in Berea were happy to listen to the message about Jesus and they thought about it carefully, not like the Jews in Thessalonica. The Berea people read God’s book every day to find out if Paul’s message was true.

¹² So 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.

⁹ And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
