Acts 17:10-15
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
In Berea, The People Examine The Scriptures With Paul And Silas
10 And the brothers immediately sent-away both Paul and Silas during the night to Berea— who, having arrived, were going into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these ones were more-noble[a] than the ones in Thessalonica— who[b] received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things might hold so. 12 So indeed many of them believed— and not a few of the prominent Greek women and men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica came-to-know that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there also, shaking[c] and stirring-up the crowds. 14 And at that time the brothers immediately sent Paul away, that he might go as-far-as to the sea. And both Silas and Timothy remained there.
In Athens, Paul Reasons With The Philosophers In The Marketplace
15 Now the ones conducting Paul brought him as far as Athens. And having received a command for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as soon as they could, they were going away [to them].
