Acts 17:10

And in those days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (a crowd of about 120 persons was there together), and said,

and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”

Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them—Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers—to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas,

And according to Paul’s custom, he went to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a great multitude of the God-fearing Greeks and not a few of the leading women.

But when the Jews of Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there as well, shaking up and disturbing the crowds.

Then immediately the brothers sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and Silas and Timothy remained there.

And he was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

In Berea
