Chapter 32—Paul at Berea and Athens At Berea Paul again commenced his work by going into the synagogue of the Jews to preach the gospel of Christ. He says of them, “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.” {3SP 393.1}

I Berøa begyndte Paulus igen sit arbejde ved at gå i jødernes synagoge og forkynde Kristi evangelium. Han sagde til dem: "Jøderne dér var mere retsindige end de i Tessalonika, de tog imod ordet med al god vilje og granskede daglig skrifterne, om dette forholdt sig således. Så kom da mange af dem til tro, og ikke få af de fornemme græske kvinder og mænd."
