In Acts 17:1-11, Paul reasons from the Scriptures in the Thessalonica synagogue over three Sabbaths, showing that Christ must suffer and rise again (referencing Isaiah 53:10), leading some Jews, Greeks, and women to believe. Envious unbelieving Jews stir up a mob against Jason and accuse the believers of proclaiming another king, Jesus. Paul and Silas flee to Berea, where the Bereans are called more noble for eagerly receiving the word and searching the Scriptures daily to verify the teachings.
