Acts 17:9-17

⁹And having taken the security bond from Jason and the rest, they released them.

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

¹¹Now 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.

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

¹³But when the Jews from Thessalonica found out that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came there also, agitating the crowds.

¹⁴Then immediately the brothers sent Paul away to go toward the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

¹⁵Now those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy, that as quickly as possible they should come to him, they departed.

¹⁶And in Athens, while Paul waited for them, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was full of idols.

¹⁷Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those coming by.
