Paul has left Silas and I here in Berea; we have just visited Thessalonica and Berea. In Thessalonica, our message of salvation was met with some resistance. Granted, some Jews and Greeks accpted the message, but most were hostile. They searched Jasons house for us, and when they could not find us, they took Jason and some other brothers and told the city officials that jason had accepted us into his house, and they put Jason and the others on post bond and let them go.
We preceded to escape out of Thessalonica that night and went to Berea. The people of Berea accepted our message, but when the people of Thessalonica heard what we were doing, the came down and started riots in Berea. Paul was forced to depart to Athens, and Silas and I will soon rejoin him. Fairwell for now!
