8. They stirred up the crowd and the city magistrates who, upon hearing these charges,
9. took a surety payment from Jason and the others before releasing them.
10. The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas to Beroea during the night. Upon arrival they went to the synagogue of the Jews.
11. These Jews were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all willingness and examined the scriptures daily to determine whether these things were so.
12. Many of them became believers, as did not a few of the influential Greek women and men.
13. But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God had now been proclaimed by Paul in Beroea also, they came there too to cause a commotion and stir up the crowds.
14. So the brothers at once sent Paul on his way to the seacoast, while Silas and Timothy remained behind.
