Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 17:12

"Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few." — Acts 17:12 (ASV)

Therefore many of them believed.—The narrator dwells with satisfaction on the fact that at Berea there were many Jewish as well as Gentile converts. Among the latter there were, as at Thessalonica, women of the upper class.
