They studied the Scriptures carefully every day. They wanted to see if what Paul said was true. So they were more noble than the Thessalonian Jews.Because of this, many of the Berean Jews believed. A number of important Greek women also became believers. And so did many Greek men.But the Jews in Thessalonica found out that Paul was preaching God’s word in Berea. So some of them went there too. They stirred up the crowds and got them all worked up.Right away the believers sent Paul to the coast. But Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea.The believers who went with Paul took him to Athens. Then they returned with orders that Silas and Timothy were supposed to join him as soon as they could.

They said,“ We have made a special promise to God. We will not eat anything until we have killed Paul.Now then, you and the Sanhedrin must make an appeal to the commanding officer. Ask him to bring Paul to you. Pretend you want more facts about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”But Paul’s nephew heard about this plan. So he went into the fort and told Paul.Then Paul called one of the commanders. He said to him,“ Take this young man to the commanding officer. He has something to tell him.”So the commander took Paul’s nephew to the officer. The commander said,“ Paul, the prisoner, sent for me. He asked me to bring this young man to you. The young man has something to tell you.”The commanding officer took the young man by the hand. He spoke to him in private.“ What do you want to tell me?” the officer asked.He said,“ Some Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow. They will pretend they want more facts about him.Don’t give in to them. More than 40 of them are waiting in hiding to attack him. They have promised that they will not eat or drink anything until they have killed him. They are ready now. All they need is for you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin.”
