Acts 17:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² So, many of them believed, as well as ·many [^Lnot a few] ·important [prominent; socially high-standing] Greek women and men [17:4]. ¹³ But the Jews [^Cwho had opposed Paul earlier] in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God in Berea, too. So they came there, ·upsetting [stirring up] the ·people [crowd] and ·making trouble [causing a disturbance]. ¹⁴ The ·believers [^Lbrothers (and sisters)] ·quickly [immediately] sent Paul away to the ·coast [^Lsea], but Silas and Timothy stayed ·in Berea [behind; ^Lthere].
