Acts of the Apostles 17:9

In context

7and Jason has taken them in. They all defy Caesar’s decrees, saying there is another king, Jesus.” 8The crowd and the magistrates were disturbed at hearing this, 9and only after taking bail from Jason and the others did they let them go. 10That very night the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea, and on arriving there they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11These people were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica: they welcomed the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see whether it was so.
