Acts 17:13

Acts 17:13

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.

13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds.

14 ^aThen immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

15 So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and ^areceiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.

The Philosophers at Athens

16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, ^ahis spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was¹ given over to idols.
