From Berea Paul went to Athens. He was accompanied on his journey by some of the Bereans who had been newly brought into the faith, and who were desirous of learning more from him of the way of life. When the apostle arrived at Athens, he sent these men back with a message to Silas and Timothy to join him immediately in that city. Timothy had come to Berea previously to Paul’s departure, and with Silas had remained to carry on the work so well begun there, and to instruct the new converts in the principles of their holy faith.{LP 89.1}

Fra Berøra tog Paulus til Athen. På sin rejse blev han ledsaget af nogle fra Berøa, som for nylig var kommet til troen, og som var ivrige efter at lære mere fra ham om livets vej. Da han kom til Athen, sendte han disse mænd tilbage med et budskab til Silas og Timotius at de straks skulle slutte sig til ham i den by. Timotius var kommet Berøa lidt før Paulus afrejse, og var blevet der sammen med Silas for at fortsætte det arbejde der var så godt begyndt der, og undervise nyomvendte i grundelementerne i deres hellige tro.
