And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Berea in the Bible
The city whose people were praised for examining the Scriptures daily to verify Paul's teaching.
Historical Context
Berea (modern Veria) was located about 45 miles west of Thessalonica, away from the main Via Egnatia route. This relative isolation may have contributed to the Jewish community's more open-minded approach to Paul's message.
