Acts 17:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 17:9

7 Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, ^asaying there is another king—Jesus.”

8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things.

9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

Ministering at Berea

10 Then ^athe brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

11 These were more¹ fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and ^asearched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
