📚 Historical Context
During Paul's second missionary journey, he and Silas were preaching in Thessalonica but faced intense opposition from some Jews who incited a mob against them, forcing them to flee for their safety. The believers in Thessalonica acted quickly by sending Paul and Silas away at night to the nearby city of Berea, a place known for its more receptive audience. Once there, they followed their custom of going to the Jewish synagogue to share the Gospel and engage with the community.
