When Paul and Silas brought their amazing claims that Jesus was God’s promised Messiah, the Bereans got out their Scriptures and did their research. Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men. (Acts 17:11–12)
