Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.

And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.

Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.

Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
