Acts 17:9-12

⁹The 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.

¹⁰Then, 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.

¹¹The 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.

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.
