The city whose people were praised for examining the Scriptures daily to verify Paul's teaching.

Biblical Significance

The Berean Jews are commended in Acts 17:10-15 as being "more noble" because they "received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." Many believed, including prominent Greek men and women. The Berean approach became a model for biblical discernment.

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.
